PREFACE

The compilation of every family genealogy represents 'a
“labor of love”, not only on the part of the authors, but also
of the many relatives and friends whose cooperation is so essen¬
tial for success. 'The number of persons who have contributed
data and information for the preparation of this book is too
great to permit individual acknowledgment to each one. The
following persons deserve special credit.

Joseph Franklin Baylis, Sr., 1 13,165, for his study of early
Baylis records, especially those in the Frederick Co. Courthouse
and the Handley Library in Winchester, Va.

Emily Mary McCullough, 1 13,1 12,5, for her data on the
Downey and McCullough families, and for her searches in the
county records of Virginia and other states.

Richard Blackburn Black, 112,421,12, for his loan of the
extensive records made and preserved by his grandmother,
Louisa Deborah Fawcett Hogue, 112,421.

Mildred Elizabeth Hawkins, 1 13,372,1, for the loan of her
scrapbook of newspaper clippings on births, marriages and
deaths in the Baylis family.

As is inevitably true in every book of this type, there are
many obvious gaps in the information. Names of certain per¬
sons are given with few dates or facts, and with no reference
to their descendants. Efforts made to locate such descendants
through correspondence, census records, churches, post offices,
etc., have been unsuccessful. In a few cases, Baylis descend¬
ants, who are presumably not interested in genealogy, have
failed to answer letters or to send the information requested.
Such omissions are regretted, but all that the authors can hope
to do is to check and coordinate the information they acquire.

Every effort has been made to check the accuracy of dates
and facts. In certain cases contradictory information was

xii THE BAYLIS FAMILY OF VIRGINIA

obtained from different sources. If these statements could not
be reconciled, the most probable was accepted, or both were
included if it seemed important. In certain cases, especially in
the early records, it was not possible to confirm all statements,
for example of possible relationships. In such cases, specula¬
tion is warranted, as it may be helpful to future genealogists,
provided that such statements are clearly labeled as speculations
and not as demonstrated facts. Except when so designated, it
is believed that the statements made are authentic, subject only
to such human frailties as faulty memory and mistakes in trans¬
cription or proof reading. It is hoped that all persons who
discover errors or omissions will transmit these promptly to the
authors, so that a supplement may be prepared and distributed.

A recent speaker at a meeting of the National Genealogical
Society in Washington, D. C., stated that “Genealogy may not
be an exact science, but it is a very exacting one.” The “junior”
author, William Blum, Sr., 113,167-H, after having devoted
50 years to researches in chemistry, can heartily endorse this
statement. At times, efforts to locate records of specific per¬
sons, dates and activities yield discouraging results, especially
to those like the authors, whose time and energy are limited.
On the other hand, success in locating elusive facts, and the
appreciation and cooperation of so many persons, furnish com¬
pensation for all the time and effort expended.

Many skeptical persons question the value of genealogical
studies and publications. To us, the most important justifica¬
tions for such work are the interest thereby added to history,
and the increased appreciation of our debt to our ancestors and
their contemporaries, whose vision, courage and sacrifice have
made possible the many blessings we possess as individuals and
as a nation. We are often reminded of that verse in Psalms,

1 6-6 j

“The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places j yea, I
have a goodly heritage.” Most thoughtful people in our land
agree with the first statement in this verse j but how many

PREFACE

Xlll

recognize the truth of the conclusion regarding the foundation
for these “pleasant places” in which we live?

It is sincerely hoped that this modest effort of amateur
genealogists will help us to realize how much we owe to even
the most humble of our ancestors, and will stimulate all of us
to make our descendants equally grateful to us and our con¬
temporaries. We may then reverently pray with the hymn
writer

“Oh God to us may grace be given
To follow in their train.”

INTRODUCTION

(a) Scope and Purpose of this Book.

This book is the direct result of the interest in family
genealogy of the “senior” author, Willetta Baylis (Blum),
113,167, over a period of more than 50 years. Information
given to her as a child by her parents and other relatives was
entered into her notebooks. Naturally much of this informa¬
tion was fragmentary, with few dates, but it served as a basis
and stimulus for more detailed searches and inquiries, the
results of which are incorporated in this text.

It soon became evident that there were many Baylis fami¬
lies in America, with no certain connection between them^
several of which had been written up in published genealogies.
It was therefore decided to devote this text to the descendants
of John Baylis of Virginia, who was a prominent citizen of
Prince William Co., Va., and was killed in a duel at Dumfries,
Va. in 1765. His father, William Baylis, died in Prince Wil¬
liam Co., Va. in 1754. As we have been unable to trace his
ancestry with certainty, this William Baylis is designated as the
“founder”. No. 1 in the system of numbering used in this book,
to be described shortly.

In Chapter 2, outlines of all the early Baylis families in
America are given, including some immigrants to Virginia from
whom our first William Baylis may have descended. Time
did not permit the exhaustive search of the original early
records that would be required to determine any possible re¬
lations to each other of the various Baylis immigrants to U.S.A.
It is hoped that the outlines in Chapter 2 will inspire and
encourage some younger Baylis descendant to make a more
exhaustive search of the early records.

In Chapter 3 is given, in genealogical order, a list of all
the known descendants of our William Baylis, 1, with dates of

THE BAYLIS FAMILY OF VIRGINIA

birth, marriage and death of the Baylis descendant, the person
married, and their children. This “skeleton” information is
given in one chapter, without interrupting the data with biog¬
raphical facts, which are included in Chapter 4. This arrange¬
ment makes it easier to see directly the relation of each person
to any other person, especially with the help of the numbering
system we have employed.

In Chapter 4, as much information as could be obtained
regarding each person is included. The names of those per¬
sons for whom we were unable to secure any pertinent infor¬
mation except names and dates are not included in the biog¬
raphies in Chapter 4. No biographies of persons now under
1 5 years of age are included unless they have had some unusual
experience. This portion of the book contains the “human
interest”, that will, we trust, give some insight into the lives
and activities of each person, and the conditions under which
they lived. We have deliberately included facts about the
contemporary living members of the family, which their
grandchildren may read with as much interest as we do in
learning of our ancestors. In reading through some family
genealogies published 50 or more years ago, we were disap¬
pointed to find little if any information about the persons then
living, including the authors of those books.

In these biographical sketches we have included some data
regarding persons who married into the Baylis family, and
their ancestors. Even this fragmentary information may stim¬
ulate some Baylis descendant to learn more about his other
ancestors.

For a few such families we were fortunate to secure fairly
extensive unpublished notes regarding that family. We have
published these data in Supplements A, B, C, D and E, (Chap¬
ter 5). In these supplements we have used the same system
of numbering as we used for the Baylis genealogy j but to avoid
confusion, each number in the supplements is preceded by an
appropriate letter. In the body of the book, no letters precede

INTRODUCTION

the numbers assigned to Baylis descendants and the persons
who married into the Baylis family.

One small detail may warrant mention. We have in¬
cluded, at least in each pertinent paragraph, the full name of
each person mentioned. In several otherwise admirable gene¬
alogies, we have encountered difficulty in deciphering the names
of persons mentioned only by the “given” name, for example
“Henry”, whose surname, for example, “Jones”, might be
given a few pages previously. Together with the genealogical
number when appropriate, there should be no difficulty in
identifying each person mentioned in the text or index.

(b) Spelling of “Baylis”

One of the causes of confusion in searching early immigra-
tion records, is the uncertainty in spelling the names. It is not
unusual to find the same person designated for example as
Baylis, Bayliss, Bayles, Bayless, and even Bayley or Baily.
The late W. K. Bayless of Claremore, Oklahoma, with whom
we had extensive correspondence, compiled a list of over 800
ways of spelling the name pronounced “Baylis”. Fortunately,
only a small number of these spellings have been used as family
names. During the last century certain of the descendants of
John Baylis of Virginia spelled the name as “Baylis” and others
as “Bayliss”. It was related to us that Harrison Thomas
Baylis, 1 13,12, in making a bank deposit, referred to “Harrison
Baylis’s account”. This was entered without the apostrophe, so
the name came to be known as “Bayliss”, which he decided not
to change. This spelling was then adopted by many of his
family and descendants. Hence we have close cousins, living
in the same community, who spell their name differently.

To avoid still further confusion that might result from
errors in designating the spelling used by each individual, the
authors decided to use only one spelling, namely “Baylis”
throughout this book (except where a different spelling is re¬
ferred to). It should be emphasized that in adopting this

THE BAYLIS FAMILY OF VIRGINIA

simplification, the authors do not wish to influence or discourage
the use of such spelling as each person prefers for his own
records and correspondence.

In any family genealogy with 1000 or more names, it is
necessary to use some system of numbering to designate each
descendant and to facilitate cross references and the tracing of
family trees. The system used in this text was devised inde¬
pendently some years ago by the authors, who later learned
that it had been previously used, with minor modifications, by
several earlier genealogists. Its advantages will be pointed out
after the system is outlined. This method is applicable only
when the genealogy relates primarily to the descendants of one
person, designated for purposes of reference as the “Founder”
of the family.

The founder is designated as number one, conveniently
written as 1. If, subsequently, his parents and other ancestors
are discovered, additional digits may then be placed before
the above number, without changing the figures that follow.
In such a case, the above 1 might become 121, and the numer¬
als, 12, be placed before each following number.

The children of the founder are designated in order of birth
as 11, 12, 13, 14, etc. If there are more than 9 children, the
final numbers, for example 10 and 11, are put in parentheses j
thus the tenth child of number 1 would be 1(10), etc.

In each succeeding generation, the children are numbei ed
by adding the appropriate digit to their parents’ number. Foi
example, the children of 12 would be, in order of birth, 121,
122,123, etc. For numbers with more than 3 digits, a comma
is inserted after each three digits, to facilitate reading and
remembering of long numbers, thus, 113,167,2, etc. This
practice at least partly meets the objection sometimes raised
against this system, namely that the numbers become too long
and cumbersome.

INTRODUCTION

The number of digits in each person’s number indicates his
generation, starting with the founder as the first generation.
Thus a person numbered 134,1 is in the fourth generation^ one
numbered 134,126 is in the sixth generation, etc.

The relation of each person married into the Baylis family
is indicated by the letter “H” for husband, or “W” for wife, of
the person with the attached number. For example 134,1-H
is the husband of 134,1 j while 134,126-W is the wife of
134,126. In the index and the text, the married name of each
woman is given in parentheses, thus Willetta Baylis (Blum).

Among the advantages of this simple system are the
following:

( 1 ) The generation in which each person lived is indicated,
thus 134,1 is in the fourth generation. This is especially help¬
ful if, as in this text, there are at least four persons named
William Baylis, whose respective numbers are 1, 12, 112, and
113,121,32.

(2) The relationship of any two persons is indicated by
their numbers. If in the same generation^ all the figures are
alike except the last one, for example 113,41 and 113,42, the
persons are brothers or sisters. If all figures but the last two
are alike, for example 113,41 and 113,52, the two persons are
first cousins. If all figures but the last three are alike, for
example 113,41 and 112,34, the persons are second cousins.

If the two persons are in adjoining generations, for example
the fourth and fifth generations, and all but the last figure of
the longer number are alike, as 1 13,41 and 1 13,412, the latter
person is a child of the former. If all figures except the last
two of the longer number are alike, for example 113,41 and
1 13,421, the former person is the aunt or uncle of the latter.
These indications of the family relationships have been very
convenient at family reunions, where persons wearing tags with
their names and numbers may identify relatives whom they
have never met (or perhaps never heard of!).

THE BAYLIS FAMILY OF VIRGINIA

(3) The system is flexible, because no changes are necessary
in existing numbers if additional names are discovered and
added to the genealogy. One minor problem is raised if the
order of the children in any family is subsequently found to be
incorrect, and should be revised. In such a case, when the book
is revised (as every family genealogy should be at least every
fifty years to bring it up to date, and to include newly found
early data), a decision must be made as to whether to change
all succeeding numbers of that line, or to merely call attention
to the newly acquired data.

A problem arises if two Baylis descendants marry each
other. Their children and their descendants might then be
designated by two numbers, derived from each parent. To
avoid this complexity such persons are arbitrarily given numbers
derived from the oldest, that is, the smallest, genealogical
number of the parents. For example, Vennor Baylis, 1 13,343,
married Blanche Hawkins, 1 13,125,4. Their children are des¬
ignated as 113,343,1 etc., and not as 113,125,41, etc., even
though the latter would be genealogically correct.

The descendants of John Fawcett and Ann Blackburn
Baylis, 112,4, are listed only in the Baylis genealogy. At¬
tached to each such name is the number which that person
would have in the Fawcett Supplement. This arrangement
permits any one to make a complete Fawcett list, but avoids
the duplicate printing of these 80 names.

It will be noted that in listing the names in Chapter 3, and
the biographies in Chapter 4, they are divided into successive
generations. Consequently the children of a given couple are
not named immediately after the parents, but some pages later
under the succeeding generation. Such an arrangement may
at first seem awkward, but it is necessary in order to avoid the
separation by many pages of brothers and sisters. To locate a
reference to children, turn to the page in the next generation
on which are recorded the names and numbers of their parents,
followed by one digit. The Index of names will also help to

INTRODUCTION

locate the children of a given parent, by finding the next page
on which the parent is named. These two methods of locating
children may be illustrated by the following example.

On page 32 under the fifth generation, Sanford Baylis is
listed as 113,16, and as having ten children. On page 44 under
the sixth generation his children are listed as 1 13,161 etc. In
the Index will be found the entry:

Bayhs, Sanford, 113,16; page 32, 44.

Hence it is evident that his children are listed on page 44, that
is the page listed after the one on which he is first listed.

(d) Sources of Information.

Much of the information regarding the early descendants
of John Baylis was gained from Family Bibles; cemetery in¬
scriptions, and early county records. We have consulted the
Courthouse records at Richmond, Va. ; at Manassas, Prince
William Co., Va.; Warrenton, Fauquier Co., Va. ; Winchester,
Frederick Co., Va.; Sussex, Sussex Co., Va. ; Surrey, Surrey Co.
Va. ; and Stafford, Stafford Co., Va. Also the War Depart¬
ment records of pensions, etc., in the U. S. Archives Office in
Washington, D. C. From each of these we obtained records
of births, marriages, deaths and wills relating to the Baylis
family.

In the Library of Congress in Washington, D. C., and the
D. A. R. in Washington, D. C., and elsewhere, and in books
owned by us, we have consulted the following books and
journals.

It is not implied that all of these sources were thoroughly
or exhaustively studied j but merely that some information of
interest was obtained from most of them. While specific
references will be made at certain points to books or journals,
no attempt has been made to give a source for each statement
or date. It is certain that an intensive study of these and other
books and journals would clear up much of the uncertainty
regarding early Baylis families, to be discussed in Chapter 2.

INTRODUCTION

(e) Baylis Family Reunions.

Much inspiration and information for this genealogy were
obtained from reunions of the Baylis family of Virginia that
started in 1941 j because of World War II were, discontinued
till 1 947 j and have since been held annually with attendances
of from 100 to 200 persons. The twelfth reunion was held in
1957. A brief record of these meetings will serve to show
the interest developed by such gatherings.

1. The First Reunion was held on June 29, 1941, at “Glen
Burnie”, an estate just outside of Winchester, Va., that was
surveyed by John Baylis, 1 1, who with Lord Fairfax surveyed
part of the city of Winchester. The late W. W. Glass, for¬
merly Mayor of Winchester and owner of Glen Burnie, gave
an address in which he described the early history of Winches¬
ter, and the important part played by John Baylis, 1 1.

Henry Arthur Baylis, 1 13,129, then the oldest living Baylis
descendant (who died in 1955) was elected president j Vennor
Baylis, 1 13,343, first vice president j Emily Mary McCullough,
1 13,1 12,5, second vice president j Mildred Elizabeth Hawkins,

113.372.1, secretary; and Willetta Baylis (Blum), 113,167,
historian. It was decided to hold annual reunions, but World
War II prevented such meetings till 1947.

2. The Second Reunion was held on September 14, 1947
at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, near Fawcett’s Gap, Va., with
reports from the various officers. Joseph Franklin Baylis, Sr.,
113,165, was elected president; Roy William Baylis, Sr.,
113,121,13, vice-president; Mildred Elizabeth Hawkins, 113,-

372.1, secretary and treasurer; and Willetta Baylis (Blum),
113,167, and Emily Mary McCullough, 113,112,5, historians.
The oldest relative present was Joseph M. Snapp, then 91
years old; and the youngest was David Raleigh Wolfe, 113,-

Chapter 2

THE BAYLIS FAMILIES IN AMERICA

1. Introduction

The purpose of this chapter is to sketch briefly the various
Baylis families that came to America before 1800, and to in¬
dicate, when possible, some of their present descendants. It is
fully realized that much more detailed accounts of certain of
these families have been published in books that will be refer¬
red to, and which served as the basis for much of the informa¬
tion contained in this chapter. Consideration of these various
Baylis families may serve to indicate ( 1 ) which ones were not
directly associated with the Baylis Family of Virginia, and (2)
which of the families in Virginia were most closely related to
William Baylis, 1, designated as the “founder” of this particu¬
lar Baylis family. It has not been possible for the authors to
devote the time required to make an exhaustive search of the
early records in England and America. It is hoped that this
brief summary will stimulate some younger genealogists to
make such studies, and that our presentation will suggest sources
and clues for such an enterprise.

2. Origin of the Baylis Family

While various authors have suggested that the Baylis Fam¬
ily originated in France, it is certain that most of those who
came to America between 1600 and 1800 came from England.
That some persons of this name came directly from France to
America is shown by the statement made to us by John Bayless,
Curator of the Washington Cathedral in Washington, D. C.,
that his great grandfather came from France to Covington,
Kentucky over 100 years ago.

Several authors have suggested that the name was first
based on the word “bailiff”, a court officer, which was derived
from the French word “baillif” or “bailli”, and in turn from

THE BAYLIS FAMILY IN AMERICA

the Latin word “bajulus”, a guardian. Some think that the
name “Bailiff” merely changed its spelling to “Bailiss”, while
others sugest that the name “Bailiss” was shortened from
“Bailiffson”. These various explanations are af least consist¬
ent with the very large number of ways of spelling the name
and the consequent confusion in the early records.

3. The Baylis 'Family in England

H The name Baylis is now
Ivery common in England.
‘'For example, there are 18
persons of that name listed
in the telephone directory of
Birmingham, England j about
100 in nearby Wolverhamp¬
ton j and about 25 in Reading,
England. During World
War II Ellis Edmund Baylis,
Jr., 113,121,113, visited a
Baylis drugstore in Reading,
England 3 and in 1957 he met
in Reading Mr. S. E. Baylis,
who conducts a large grocery
business. This S. E. Baylis
is the son of E. W. Baylis
and the grandson of T. H.
Baylis, who died in 1938.
S. E. Baylis has two sons,
H. S. Baylis and C. E. Baylis.
We have had no opportunity to meet with these persons. We
have however had very interesting and helpful correspondence
with Reverend Harry Baylis, formerly Vicar of a large Epis¬
copal Church at Wednesfield, Wolverhampton, about 15 miles
east of Birmingham, England. He was very successful there,
and his parish was the largest in the Diocese of Lichfield. Flis
congregation has grown so large that two “daughter” churches

Reverend Harry Baylis
of Lichfield, England, who
compiled his

Baylis lineage, which is outlined
in Supplement E.

THE BAYLIS FAMILY OF VIRGINIA

have been organized in that vicinity to provide places of wor¬
ship in two areas each containing over 10,000 population.

His church, organized 200 years ago, was destroyed by fire
about 1900, but was then rebuilt and restored. About 1950,
it was so badly damaged by the “death watch beetles” and dry
rot, that extensive repairs were required, costing 8000£ (about
$23,000). Instead of seeking large contributions. Rev. Baylis
asked each member of the congregation to pledge only one
shilling (14 cents) per week for five years. Thereby the entire
cost of the restoration was paid. In spite of recent severe
illness, he courageously conducted the work of his large church
until 1956.

Recently the Rev. Harry Baylis was appointed “Master of
the Hospital of the City of Lichfield”. This is an ancient
foundation similar to an almshouse, dating from the 1 2th cen¬
tury, but refounded about 1437, from which time the list of
Masters starts. They have a Master and twelve Bedesmen,
who say prayers daily in the chapel j but since the re founding-
in 1437, the services have also been open to the general public.

Rev. Harry Baylis is a Master of Arts from Oriel College,
Oxford. He served in the armed forces during World War I,
and was ordained in 1923. He is still a Chaplain in the Forces
of the Territorial Army. He is a Mason and has been Assist¬
ant Chaplain of the Grand Lodge of England.

Rev. Baylis is very much interested in genealogy. He
kindly sent us a brief chart of his family tree, in which he in¬
dicated those persons of whom there were no later records in
England, and who may have come to America. While we
have not yet located records to show whether or when any of
these persons arrived in America, the list may help others to
establish connections between the Baylis families in England
and America. His chart has been rearranged in Supplement
E, to accord with our system of numbering, with the letters
“EB” ( English Baylis) placed before each number. The
names to which an asterisk, is attached are those who may

Baylis coat of arms, granted in England to
Thomas Baylis, EB-1 12,121,141, who was born in 1761.

THE BAYLIS FAMILY OF VIRGINIA

have come to America. The frequent occurrence in the Eng¬
lish list of such names as William, John, Thomas, Anne, Sarah,
and Elizabeth, indicates a connection between the English and
American families.

3. Coats of Arms

The early Baylis
families in England were
known as “yeomen” and
were not entitled to a
coat of arms. In 1680
one of the family is men¬
tioned at Chipping Nor¬
ton as “Gentleman and
Bailiff”, who would be
entitled to a coat of arms.
A grant of arms was
made to Thomas Baylis,
EB-1 12,121,141, who
was born in 1761. A
copy of that coat of arms
is shown on p. 15. Sev¬
eral authors of Bavlis
books have published

Baylis Coat of x\rms, sent to the authors QoatS of arms of the

Oklahoma, who was descended from John
Bayless of Long Island. these is showil here.

4. “The Bayles Families of Long Island and New Jersey”

A book with this title was published in 1944 by Howard
Green Bayles of Houston, Texas, who also published a mimeo¬
graphed supplement in 1 946. We have consulted this book
several times at the Library of Congress, and had cordial cor¬
respondence with the author in 1946 and 1947. The starting-
point of this book is John Bayles, who settled in Southold,
Long Island in 1654 with his wife and children, from whom

Baylis family. One of

THE BAYLIS FAMILY IN AMERICA

there are now many descendants in America. In his book and
in our correspondence, Howard Green Bayles has emphasized
two points.

First, there is no conclusive evidence that the John Bayles
who sailed from England on the ship “Truelove” in 1635 was
the same person who settled in Southold in 1654. In “Original
Lists of Persons of Quality, 1600-1700”, published in 1880 by
John Camden Hotten, on p. 85-86, he gives a list of persons on
the “Truelove”, which sailed from England in June 1635 for
Bermuda. This list contains the names of Jo. Baylie ( 18 yrs.)
and William Wells ( 1 7 yrs.). (William Wells was the ances¬
tor of Vinnetta Wells Ranke, p. 146). Virkus (Compendium
of Genealogy) considers that the John Baylis of the Truelove
was the one who settled on Long Island. But Howard Green
Bayles was unable to find any trace of John Bayles in Bermuda
or elsewhere during the 19 years that elapsed between the
Truelove crossing in 1635, and 1654 when a John Bayles set¬
tled on Long Island.

Second, Howard Green Bayles was unable to find any con¬
nection between the John Bayles family of Long Island and
the Baylis families in Virginia. From our limited study of the
records, we agree with Howard Green Bayles that the Virginia
Baylis families are descended from persons who came directly
from England to Virginia.

Our correspondence and records show that most of the
“Bayless” or “Bayles” families now living in U.S.A. outside
of Virginia and vicinity, stem from the Long Island Bayless
family. It is recorded that John Bayless of Southhold, Long
Island, had a son John Bayless, Jr., who married Ruth Rusco
in 1642. Their son Daniel Bayless, b. 1683, moved to Hun¬
terdon, Middlesex Co., N. J. He had three sons, Daniel,
Samuel and John. Daniel, b. Dec. 15, 1716, was married on
Jan. 13, 1736 to Joanna Lake. About 1762 they moved to
Cecil Co. Md., and in 1784 to Washington Co., N. C. (now in
Tenn.). Their son John Bayless, b. 1746, married Ann Price.

THE BAYLIS FAMILY OF VIRGINIA

From them was descended Margaret Bayless (McNees) (Mrs.
Frank M. McNees) of Johnson City, Tenn., with whom we
have corresponded. Mrs. Mary Hoss (Headman) of Had-
donfleld, N. J., was descended from Daniel Bayless and Joanna
Lake, through their son Samuel Bayless, b. April 11, 1751, who
married Mary Nodding.

Samuel Bayless, another son of Daniel, b. 1706, d. 1773,
moved to Havre de Grace, Baltimore Co., now Harford Co.,
Md. He had several sons in the Revolution. Miss Bell
Bayless of Kingston, Ga., was descended from him. Mrs.
Edith Bayless (Holstein), who lived at St. Michaels, Md., and
later at Canton, Ohio, was also descended from this Samuel
Bayless who settled on Deer Creek, in what is now Harford
Co., Md. We had cordial correspondence with her.

We had considerable correspondence with William Keene
Bayless, b. Oct. 1 1, 1 850, d. Feb. 29, 1930, of Claremont,
Okla., who compiled extensive data on many branches of the
Baylis family^ which unfortunately have not been published.
He sent to us the Coat of Arms shown on d. 16. He was de¬
scended from John Bayless of Long Island through the John
Bayless, b. 1 746, who married Ann Price.

The book “History of the Newkirk, Hamilton and Bayless
Families”, published by Thomas J. Newkirk in 1916, refers
especially to the descendants of Daniel Bayless, son of Daniel
Bayless and Mary Burroughs (Bayless), who was born in 1775
in Maryland and moved to Rigdon, Ind.

The “Ancestors of the Bayles Family in the \J. S. from
1617 to 1900”, published in 1900 by Eliza M. Baylis St. John,
includes descendants of John Bayless of the Truelove or, ac¬
cording to the opinion of Howard Green Bayles, the John
Bayless of Long Island.

In “Jesse Bayles Descendents” by John Coombs Bayles,
published in 1944, reference is made principally to the de¬
scendents of John Bayles of Long Island. He also concluded
that there is no direct connection between the Bayles family of

THE BAYLIS FAMILY IN AMERICA

Long Island and the Baylis family of Virginia. The records
indicate that there were two persons named Jesse Bayles, one
descended from the John Bayles family of Long Island, and
one who is first noted in Winchester, Va., and was possibly
from a Virginia family. The latter Jesse Bayles left Win¬
chester, Va., in 1780 with nine children and settled near Mor¬
gantown, W. Va. Mrs. Olive Bayles (Jones) of Fairchance,
Pa., with whom we corresponded, is descended from him. The
family was described in a book by George Herman Baylis of
Morgantown, W. Va. in 1945.

It is recognized that these brief notes on the Bayles family
of Long Island do not attempt to cover as much information as
is given in the books cited. The principal reason for including
this concise section is to point out that there is no known con¬
nection between this “Bayless” family and the “Baylis” family
of Virginia. The difference in spelling is probably significant,
but it is not safe to use the spelling as a criterion of origin,
especially in the early generations, when members of the same
family were sometimes designated with different spelling.

5. The Early Baylis Families in Virginia

As indicated on p. 3, study of the early families in America
is hindered by the uncertainties in spelling. For example,
John Camden Hotten lists the following persons in Virginia.

( 1 ) p. 82 — Arrival on “Speedwell” on May 28, 1635,

“Richard Baylie, 22 yrs.”

( 2 ) p. 117— Arriving on “Merchant’s Hope”, July,

1635, was Henry Baylie, 18 yrs.

( 3 ) p. 121— Arriving on Aug. 7, 1635, on the “Globe”

was Margaret Balie, 20 yrs.

( 4 ) p. 128 — On the “William and John” to St. Christo¬
phers on Sept. 2, 1635, “William Baylie,
23 yrs”.

( 5 ) p. 130— Arriving on Sept. 11, 1635, on the “Hope-

well” was Robert Baylie, 23 yrs.

p. 506 — In St. James parish, Barbados, Dec. 20,

Baylys land”.

It is possible but not certain that any one of these persons
was actually a “Baylis”, since this name was so often misspelled.
One interesting observation from these notes is that at least
5 ships sailed from England to Virginia or the West Indies
in 1635.

The earliest record we have found of a Baylis immigrant
to Virginia is of William Baylis, born in England in 1590. He
received 150 acres in Charles Co. (now Charles City Co.), Va.,
for transporting persons to America. On July 9, 1635, he
granted 1 00 acres in Charles Co., Va., to his son Thomas Baylis.

THE BAYLIS FAMILY IN AMERICA

This Thomas Baylis was born in 1612 and married Sarah
Edgecomb. On July 9, 1635, he was granted 150 acres in
Charles Co., Va. In 1667 he sold 300 acres to Thomas Lane.
In his will, dated April 25, 1697, and recorded on Oct. 10,
1699, in Richmond Co., Va., he bequeaths to his “five eldest
children”, but actually lists six, namely, Robert, Amadine,
Frances, Katherine, Mary (or Mercy?), and Thomas, Jr. His
wife Sarah was executrix. On Sept. 5, 1705, his widow Sarah
settled the estate, mentioning only Katherine, Mercy and
Thomas Baylis.

In 1655, William Baylis, b. 1622, made a bequest to Rosa¬
lind Baylis, daughter of John Baylis.

John Baylis, b. 1633 j d. 1710, had two daughters, Ann and
Rosalind. In 1661 he married the widow of Joseph Fielding.
According to William and Mary College Quarterly, 2W(1)3,
on May 2, 1 634, Martin Beeker of Plymouth, England, leased
for 1 1 years a tract of land in York plantation to Thomas
Trotter, Thos. Jefferyes and John Baylis.

In 1706, John Baylis sold land granted to his grandfather,
Thomas Baylis.

From the above data it appears that the immigrant, William
Baylis, had three sons, Thomas, William and John Baylis.
One of these, probably John, had a son John Baylis. It is
probable that this son John Baylis was the Col. John Baylis
who married Hannah Earle about 1722.

According to the “Earle Family of Virginia”, by Rev. Isaac
Newton Earle, John Earle of Westmoreland Co., Va., received
in 1652 a grant of 1600 acres of land for transporting 32 per¬
sons to America. His wife was Mary. They had a son Samuel
Earle who was born in England, came to America, and died in
1697 in Westmoreland Co., Va. He married Martha, who
after his death married William Rust.

Their son, Samuel Earle, Jr., was born in Westmoreland
Co., Va., where he died in 1746. His wife was Phyllis. He

THE BAYLIS FAMILY OF VIRGINIA

received land from his mother in 1709. A daughter of Samuel
Earle, Jr., Hannah Earle, married John Baylis of Stafford Co.,
Va., about 1722. John Baylis died in 1746. His widow mar¬
ried Henry Dawson, and died in 1751. Her brother, Samuel
Earle III, was born in Westmoreland Co., and lived in Prince
William, Stafford, Fauquier and Frederick Counties in Va.
His first wife, Anna Sorrell (Earle) is buried on the Earle
estate in Warren Co., near Greenway Court, the home of Lord
Fairfax. His second wife was Elizabeth Holbrook, daughter
of Randall Holbrook and Jeannette (Holbrook) of Prince
William Co.

Samuel Earle III had a son named Baylis Earle, named for
John Baylis of Prince William Co., Va., “the husband of his
father’s sister Hannah Earle”. For several generations, the
Earle family had a son named “Baylis Earle” or “John Baylis
Earle”. The close relation of the Baylis and Earle families
is also shown by the marriage before 1746 of Hannah Baylis
(probably a sister of John Baylis) and John Earle, a son of
Samuel Earle, Jr. There is also a record of the marriage of
Edward Earle to Hannah Bavlis in 1667. She was born in
England and came to Maryland.

John Baylis and Hannah Earle (Baylis) apparently had no
children. In the will of John Baylis (Stafford Co., Va., Will
Book 1729-1748, p. 510), dated Dec. 5, 1746 and probated
Mar. 10, 1747, he names his wife Hannah, and makes bequests
to Jemima Sims and to Ann Alenby Baylis (possibly his sister),
now living in Maryland. “To Baylis Earle (his nephew) land
patented by me in Stafford Co.” “To nephew, John Baylis, son
of my brother Thomas Baylis, the residuary estate.”

After John Baylis’ death in 1746 or 1747, his widow, Han¬
nah Earle Baylis, married Henry Dawson, to whom she be¬
queathed her estate prior to her death in 1751. In Fauquier
Co. Marriage Records, Book 1, p. 313, it is recorded that on
Jan. 25, 1791, the marriage of Rodham Earles and Susanna
Baylis was signed by John Baylis. This John Baylis may have

THE BAYLIS FAMILY IN AMERICA

been a descendent of either William Baylis, 12, or Samuel
Baylis, 13.

If the Thomas Baylis referred to in the will of John Baylis
is the son of Thomas Baylis, Jr. and Sarah Edgecomb Baylis,
this implies that Thomas Baylis, Jr., had a son John Baylis.

In the Overwhorten, Va., Parish Register from 1720 to
1760, is a record of the family of Mulrain Baylis and Winifred
(Baylis), including their following children. John Baylis, b.
2/29/1 743 j Peggy Baylis, b. 2/2/1745. Also John Baylis
and Mary (Baylis), married Oct. 8, 1747j and three children,
Betty Baylis, b. 10/20/1751^ Mary Baylis, baptized 1/19/
1752j and Jesse Baylis, b. 2/4/1754. These records also
show the death of a John Baylis on Dec. 8, 1746. This was
probably the John Baylis who married Hannah Earle, and who
made his will on Dec. 5, 1746. Also the marriage of William
Baylis (probably our 12) and Ann Gough on 1/19/1757.

These incomplete records still leave uncertainty as to the
father of William Baylis, designated as the “founder”, 1, on
p. 1. It is possible that this William Baylis was a brother
of John Baylis who married Hannah Earle. Until this un¬
certainty is cleared up by further research, we cannot extend
our Baylis family tree beyond William Baylis, 1.

CHAPTER 4

Biographies of the Baylis Family

In this chapter an effort has been made to give all the avail¬
able interesting information about each Baylis descendant, and
each person who married into the Baylis family. For the latter
class, the parents and ancestors are mentioned, together with
any facts of interest. For a few related families we were for¬
tunate to secure fairly complete records, which have been in¬
corporated into supplements in Chapter 5. We realize that
much of the information along these lines is fragmentary, but
we trust that it will be of some interest. It is unfortunate that
many of the records of persons now living who married into
the Baylis family are incomplete, largely because of lack of
interest of those concerned. It is highly desirable that all
modern children should know something of all of the families

from which they have descended. It is hoped that by the
inclusion of facts about persons and families who were closely
associated with the Baylis family, the interest of present day
descendants will be stimulated to make more detailed searches
of those ancestors and to publish appropriate genealogies.

In this chapter the names and numbers correspond to those
used in Chapter 3. Data on related families are included
under the person designated as husband, H, or wife, W? of a
Baylis descendant. As it is not possible to assign Baylis num¬
bers to the persons related to those who married into the Baylis
family, (except those given special numbers in the supple¬
ments), two separate indices have been prepared, (1) for the
Baylis family and those listed in the supplements j and (2) for
those associated with the Baylis family, or mentioned anywhere
in the text.

BIOGRAPHIES OF THE BAYLIS FAMILY

133

FIRST GENERATION

I. William Baylis (“Founder”). Little is known of
William Baylis, except that he died in 1754. In the boiid
book, from 1753 to 1786, in the Court House at Manassas,
Prince William Co., Va.? it states that the will of William
Baylis, deceased, was filed on May 27, 1754. His sons John
and William Baylis were named as executors. His will also
refers to his son Samuel and his wife Ann.

On November 3, 1738 ( Book of Deeds, D, Prince William
Co., No. 1, Page 5) Richard R. Davis sells to William Baylis
certain cows, horses, chests, iron pots, feather beds, furniture
and a “cubburd”. On October 27 and 28, 1740 (Deed Book
E, p, 161) William Ficklin (or Hicklin) of King George Co.,
planter, sells to William Baylis of the Parish of Hamilton in
the county of Prince William, planter, a tract or parcel of land
containing 250 acres situated on the head branches of Hood’s
Creek in Parish of Hamilton and County of Prince William
(lease and release).

On p. 6 of “very old Bond book” of Prince William Co.,
Va., John Baylis and William Baylis and others execute a bond
for John and William Baylis as Executors of the last Will and
Testament of William Baylis, deceased. Bond dated May 27,
1754. The amount of the bond was 1000 £

SECOND GENERATION
Children of William Baylis, 1.

II. John Baylis. John Baylis was born about 1727 and
was killed in a duel at Dumfries, Va. on September 24, 1765.
About 1754 he married Jane Blackburn, oldest daughter of
Richard Blackburn and Mary Watts (Ashton) (Blackburn) of
Rippon Lodge, Prince William Co., Va. In the Bond book at
Manassas, Prince William Co.? Va., p. 67, Jane Baylis is named
as executor for John Baylis in his will dated October 22, 1764

134

THE BAYLIS FAMILY OF VIRGINIA

and filed on October 9, 1765. Her brother, Thomas Black¬
burn, was one of the bondsmen.

The facts about the unfortunate duel that led to the death
of John Baylis are generally agreed upon, but there is consid¬
erable conflict between various versions of the circumstances
leading up to the duel. John Scott, 18 year old son of Rev,
James Scott, challenged John Baylis to a duel. At the appoint¬
ed time John Scott appeared with his brother-in-law, Cuthbert
Bullitt, as his second. Bullitt took the place of John Scott and
in the ensuing duel shot John Baylis in the groin. Baylis died
about five hours later at Rippon Lodge, where he is probably
buried. While a jury acquitted Cuthbert Bullitt, feeling
against John Scott as the initiator of the duel was so high that
Scott had to leave Virginia for Scotland. Some time later,
Cuthbert Bullitt settled in Kentucky and still later in Indiana.

John Baylis was a distinguished citizen of Virginia, and but
for his untimely death in 1765, he would probably have
reached great heights in the colony, state and nation. His
high standing in the community and the generally expressed
feelings against those responsible for his death, prove con¬
clusively that no acts or words of John Baylis justified the chal¬
lenge to and the tragic result of this duel. As early as April
30, 1763 (Prince William Co. Book of Deeds P, p. 324),
Matthew Gregg acknowledged that he had falsified “with
reference to the character for honesty of John Baylis” and con¬
fesses, “I believe in my conscience that he is as honest a man
as ever Existed and has as much Hon^ in his dealings with
mankind.”

The following summary of the activities of John Baylis
indicates the wide range of his interests and the high regard in
which he was held. His civilian assignments include the
following.

In 1752, with Lord Thomas Fairfax he surveyed and laid
out a part of the city of Winchester, Va. This service is com¬
memorated by his name on a bronze tablet in front of the Court

House at Winchester. This survey is referred to in the fol¬
lowing grant, quoted from T. K. Cartmell, “Shenandoah
Valley Pioneers”, p. 131.

“The Right Honorable Thomas Lord Fairfax, Baron of
Cameron in that part of Great Britain called Scotland, Proprie¬
tor of the Northern Neck of Virginia j to all to whom this
present writing shall come sends greeting. Know ye that for
good causes and in Consideration of the Rents and Covenants
hereafter reserved and expressed, I have given, granted and
confirmed, and by these presents for me, my heirs and assigns?
do give, grant and confirm unto Mr. James Wood of the
County of Frederick and Colony aforesaid, a certain Lott or
half acre of land heretofore waste and ungranted, situate, lying
and being in the Town of Winchester in the said County.
Numbered ( 1 ) and bounded as in the survey and plat of the
said town made by Mr. John Baylis. Also one other Lott or
Tract containing five acres of Land, numbered 53, etc .

“Dated this fifteenth day of May in the twenty sixth year
of the Reign of our Sovereign, Lord George the Second.
Domini one thousand seven hundred and fifty three.”

It is also recorded that George Washington received a town
lot in Winchester and five acres in the country for grazing.

In William and Mary Quarterly, 2nd Series, Vol. IV j and
also in Henning’s Statutes at Large, 7H, p 427, reference is
made to an act of Assembly to enlarge the town of Dumfries,
Va. “The incorporators were all men of prominence in the
locality”. The list includes 14 persons, one of whom was John
Baylis. In 1761 John Baylis was appointed a trustee of the
town of Dumfries.

From 1761 to 1765 John Baylis was a member of the
House of Burgesses of Virginia, representing Prince William
Co. It is recorded that his two brothers, Samuel and William
Baylis, voted for him. According to the Journal of the House
of Burgesses of Virginia from 1761 to 1765, in Nov. 1761, the
election of John Baylis and Henry Lee as Burgesses was ques-

138

THE BAYLIS FAMILY OF VIRGINIA

Honed. After a long investigation, the committee approved
their election, and severely condemned the action of Howston
Hooe, Sheriff, for his actions in attempting to keep the polls
open longer than had been agreed upon.

John Baylis was the “King’s Magistrate” at Dumfries, Va.
On p 48 of the “very old Bond Book” of Prince William Co.,
on May 25, 1761, John Baylis is listed as a bondsman for Wil¬
liam Tackett, Executor of the estate of William Spiller. Ac¬
cording to Prince William Co. Book of Deeds Q, p 141-142,
on July 24, 1764? “John Baylis of the town of Dumfries in
the county of Prince William, Gentleman, is made true and
lawful attorney to George Booth, Jr., etc.”’ ....

On p 50 of the very old Bond Book of Prince William Co.,
John Baylis is recorded as a “justice” in 1762, 1763, 1764,
and 1765. In Henning’s Statutes at Large, 7H, p 472, John
Baylis is mentioned as an assignee of George Hancock. In
Henning, 8H, p 157, in Oct. 1765, he was appointed as one of
the commissioners to settle the accounts of Truro and Fairfax
Parishes. (As this was a few weeks after his death, it indicates
that news did not then travel quickly.)

John Baylis was active and prominent in the affairs of the
Established (Episcopal) Church. From 1757 to 1763 he was
a vestryman of Dettington Parish in Prince William Co., and
from 1760 to 1762 a church warden in that Parish. In the
Dettington Parish Vestry Book, in 1760 and 1761, the name of
John Baylis as a church warden appears on five indentures of
slaves, orphans, or illegitimate children. In the History of
Truro Parish in Virginia, by Rev. Philip Slaughter, in Nov.
1764, John Baylis was one of five commissioners “appointed to
adjust and divide the cost of the Glebe and improvements
thereon, and of the Church plate and the 50,000 pounds of
tobacco levied for building churches, between the two parishes.”

John Baylis also had a distinguished military record. Dur¬
ing the French- Indian War, he had the ranks of Captain,
Major and Colonel. In the “Writings of George Washing-

BIOGRAPHIES OF THE BAYLIS FAMILY

139

ton,” Vol. 1, 1745 to 1756, p 367, it states that orders were
given to deliver to Capt. John Baylis tools to build a small fort
at the mouth of Little Cacapon River (where it empties into the
Potomac). On p 407, George Washington states that on July
21, 1756, Major John Baylis and his men were ordered to
assist the inhabitants to collect their harvest.

In the Court Order Book of Prince William Co., Va., for
1755 to 1757, John Baylis made oath of the days on duty of
the militia of the county, and the money expended^ including
money expended by his brother, Capt. William Baylis. On
June 28, 1756, he was appointed Major of the militia by the
Governor of Virginia. In September, 1758, in the Act of the
Assembly allowing pay for services in the French-Indian War,
Capt. John Baylis was awarded 780 pounds of tobacco.

John Baylis was an extensive land owner in both Prince
William and Frederick Counties, Va., as shown by the follow¬
ing records. On July 15, 1757, he bought 57 acres adjoining
Col. Richard Blackburn in Prince William Co. This land was
surveyed by John Baylis.

On Nov. 1, 1764, Humphrey Calvert and wife Catherine
leased to John Baylis 400 acres in Prince William Co., Va.
On June 5, 1765, John and Jane Baylis leased to Lewis Neil
400 acres deeded to John Baylis by Lord Fairfax on Oct. 10,
1754.

According to Prince William Co. Deed Book W, p 28-34,
on March 16, 1764, John Gregg and Elizabeth Adams “lease
and release” to John Baylis 670 acres of land on north side of
North Run of Quantico, Co. of Prince William. Considera¬
tion 40 £. According to Prince William Co. Deed Book P,
p 9, on July 15, 1760, John Baylis buys 140 acres from Ben¬
jamin Sebastian and Priscilla his wife, on Marumsco Creek.

On March 13, 1764, Benjamin Adams lets to John Baylis
land purchased by John Gregg, de’d, and Richard Blackburn,
dec’d (Pr. Wm. Co. Book Deeds Q, p 203-205). On Sept.
24 and 25, 1764, Philemon Waters and Sarah his wife, lease

140

THE BAYLIS FAMILY OF VIRGINIA

and release to John Baylis land on South Run of Quantico
(Pr. Wm Book Deeds Q,p 269-71). On April 1 and 2, 1765,
William Moore and Margaret his wife, lease and release to
John Baylis one lot or half acre of land in the Town of Dum¬
fries? numbered 44 (Pr. Wm. Co. Deed Book Q, p 272-274).

In Pr. Wm. Co. Deed Book R, p 1 19-120, on Oct. 2, 1769,
Henry Lee, Daniel Payne and Jane Baylis, Executors of the
estate of John Baylis, Deceased, deed to the Rev. James Scott
the lands sold to John Baylis by Philemon Waters, in obedience
to a clause in the will of John Baylis directing it to be sold.

In Pr. Wm. Co. Deed Book W, p 115, on Feb. 12, 1785,
William Baylis, 112, Gent, and Eliz. his wife, and Henry
Baylis, Gent, of Fauquier Co. deed to Alexander Lithgow and
Cuthbert Bullitt of Prince William County “all that Messuage,
Tenement and Tract of Land . . . purchased by John Baylis,
Gent, father of the said William and Henry from a certain
John Gregg . . . and by the said John Baylis Devised to the
said William and Henry Baylis”. The consideration was
“180 £ current money of Virginia”.

In Pr. Wm. Co. Deed Book W, p 236-242, on Dec. 17
and 18, 1781, “William Baylis, 112, and Elizabeth his wife of
Fauquier Co., Va. lease and release to John Hooe of Prince
William Co., 344 acres in Prince William Co. on the Branches
of Hooes and Morumscos Creek, the said land was granted to
John Wallace by deed from the Proprietor’s office dated 1724,
by him bequested to his two sons Thomas and Burr Wallace.
Thomas conveyed his to William Baylis, 1 , Grandfather of the
aforesaid William, 1 12, who gave it to his son John, 1 1, father
of the aforesaid William, 112, . . . and by the said Sebastian
sold to the said John Baylis, 11, in 1760, who by his last will
and testament in the year 1764 or five gave it together with the
other part to his son Wm., 1 12, aforesaid party to this deed.”
The witnesses included Cornelius Kincheloe, the second hus¬
band of Jane Blackburn (Baylis).

Among the early purchases of land in Augusta and Fred-

BIOGRAPHIES OF THE BAYLIS FAMILY

141

erick Counties, Va. by John Baylis are the following, recorded
in the Records of the Land Office in Richmond, Va.

In Vol. G., on Oct. 15, 1750, he bought 400 acres on the
Shenandoah River, Augusta Co., Va.

In Vol. H., on Oct. 10, 1754, he bought 423 acres on
“Opeckon” Creek (now spelled “Opequon”) in Frederick Co.,
Va.

In Vol. K., on Mar. 28, 1760, he bought 400 acres on
^^Opeckon” Creek in Frederick Co., Va.

Incident to his land holdings, John Baylis owned slaves.
On May 9, 1763, he bought from Abram Farrow for 150 £,
three slaves and one child, and cattle, horses and furniture.

This very incomplete record of the activities of John Baylis
shows that he was an outstanding member of his town, colony,
and church, and that his descendants may well be proud of him
as their ancestor.

11-W. Jane Blackburn (Baylis)

Jane Blackburn (Baylis) was born in 1 733 at Rippon Lodge,
near Dumfries, Va. She was the daughter of Richard Black¬
burn and Mary Watts (Ashton) (Blackburn).

A few years after the death of John Baylis in 1765, his
widow, Jane Blackburn (Baylis) married Cornelius Kincheloe.
Jane died in 1774. In the Will book of Prince William Co.,
Va., p 165, is recorded the settlement in 1782 of the account of
Jane B. Baylis as Executrix of the estate of John Baylis, and of
the claims of Cornelius Kincheloe against this estate.

Mary Watts (Ashton) (Blackburn) was born in 1706 at
Blaggdon, Westmoreland Co., Va. She was related to Sir
Isaac Watts, the noted English hymn writer. Sir Isaac Watts
was born in Southhampton, England in 1674. He was or¬
dained as a minister in 1702, but resigned in 1712 because of ill
health. He did not marry. He died in 1 748, and was buried
at Bunhill Fields, England.

BIOGRAPHIES OF THE BAYLIS FAMILY

143

Sir Isaac Watts was best known for his writing of church
hymns that have been used throughout the Christian world,
including ^‘Oh God, our help in ages past” and “Jesus shall
reign where’er the sun”. He also wrote poems and hymns
for children, which were illustrated with sketches of children
and animals. Among his whimsical poems are the following.

“How proud we are, how fond to shew
Our clothes, and call them rich and new!

When the poor sheep and silk worm wore
That very clothing long before”.

and

“The Tulip and the Butterfly
Appear in gayer coats than I”

Mary Watts was the daughter of Richard Watts and Mary
Bocock (Watts) j and the granddaughter of John Richard
Watts and Margaret Jones (Watts), daughter of George Jones.
Richard Watts died in 1716, when his daughter Mary was only
10 years old. Fler mother, Mary Bocock (Watts), who had
been married before her marriage to Richard Watts, married
thirdly Thomas Summerville, who lived only six months after
their marriage. She next married John Chilton, and survived
him. In her will, dated April, 1737, she mentions her daugh¬
ters, Jane Munroej Margaret Strother j Mary Blackburn and
her husband Richard Blackburn j and Captain Thomas Chilton
(probably her stepson) and his wife Jemima.

This marriage of Mary Bocock (Watts) to John Chilton
probably accounts for the fact that her granddaughter, Jane
Blackburn (Baylis) named her fourth child Lucy Chilton
Baylis, 114. The Chilton family were with William the
Conqueror in 1060. In 1660 three Chilton brothers came to
America. Charles Chilton settled at “Curyoman”, Westmore¬
land Co., Va. ; and later moved to Fauquier Co., Va.

The Jane “Munroe”, mentioned in the above will, was a
sister of Mary Watts (Ashton) (Blackburn). This sister, Jane

144

THE BAYLIS FAMILY OF VIRGINIA

Watts, married Andrew Monroe, and was the grandmother of
President James Monroe, who is remembered especially for his
“Monroe Doctrine”.

An interesting incident in the life of President James
Monroe was his reorganization of West Point Military Acade¬
my. This had been founded in 1802, but during the War of
1812, its teaching staflF and student body had dwindled almost
to zero. Following the War, when Captain Alden Partridge
was acting Superintendent, the student morale had become low,
and the teaching standards inadequate. When President James
Monroe visited the Academy in 181 7, he dismissed Partridge
and appointed Major Sylvanus Thayer as Superintendent.
Among the Professors whose protests led to the dismissal of
Partridge were Mansfield, Ellicott, Berard, Douglas and
Crozet, the latter being credited with designing the present
gray uniforms at West Point, and later those at he Citadel in
Charleston, S. C. An interesting account of this “Mutiny at
West Point” is given in “American Heritage” for December,
1955.

Mary Watts first married Col. Henry Ashton of West¬
moreland Co., Va., who was born in 1670 and died on Nov. 3,
1731. They had three children, namely j (1) Elizabeth Ash¬
ton (Johnston) who married Thomas Johnston about 1740 at
Rippon Lodges (2) J. Henry Ashton, who died in 1759. He
married Jane Alexander on Feb. 23, 1748. She was born on
Jan. 12, 1730. (3) John Ashton, who died before 1742.

These data, published in William & Mary College Quarterly,
Vol. 7, Series I, p 94, were copied from the massive tomb of
Col. Henry Ashton on his plantation called “Booth” near
Moning Creek, Va.

Col. Henry Ashton had three children by his first marriage.
They were mentioned in his will in Westmoreland Co., Va.,
dated Feb. 26, 1730, probated Nov. 24, 1731: (1) Grace
Ashton, who married Philip Lee of Blenheim, Md. j (2) Anne
Ashton, who married Capt. Wm. Aylettj and (3) a daughter
who married Capt. George Turberville.

Col. Henry Ashton was the son of Capt. John Ashton,
Lincolnshire, England, who with his brother James Ashton,
inherited land in Virginia from their brother. Col. Peter Ash¬
ton, who was a Burgess in Charles City Co., Va., in 1656, and
in Northumberland Co., Va., in 1659. He received 2000 acres
of land in Westmoreland Co., Va., in 1658. Part of this
estate on the Potomac was called ^^Chatterton”.

The three younger Ashton children were evidently brought
up at Rippon Lodge, after their mother, Mary Watts (Ash¬
ton) married Col. Richard Blackburn. On April 1, 1752, at
Fairfax Co. Court House, Richard Blackburn and Mary Watts
(Ashton) (Blackburn) deeded and delivered their “plate”
(silverware) to J. Henry Ashton.

Soon after the death of her husband, Henry Ashton, in

1731, his widow, Mary Watts
(Ashton) married Richard Black¬
burn of Rippon Lodge, and they
had six children.

Richard Blackburn was born in
Rippon, England in 1705. With
his brother Edward Blackburn
(who soon went to Bermuda) he
came to America as a very young
man and acquired land on Neabsco
Creek, near the Potomac River,
about 1 0 miles below Mt. Vernon.
Here Richard Blackburn built Rip¬
pon Lodge about 1725. It has
been reported that about 1 743 he
built Mt. Vernon for Lawrence
Washington, the half brother of
George Washington, who later
owned and lived at Mt. Vernon.
Much of the information given in

THE BAYLIS FAMILY OF VIRGINIA

derived from a very interesting book, “The Blackburn Gene¬
alogy” published in 1939 by Vinnetta Wells Ranke, who is a
descendant of Edward Blackburn, a brother of Richard Black¬
burn. Edward Blackburn left Virginia for Bermuda j and on
January 9, 1734 he gave to his brother Richard a power of
attorney. His son Edward Blackburn, Jr. lived witth Richard
Blackburn at Rippon Lodge until 1757, when he married
Margaret Harrison of Stafford Co., Va., daughter of William
Harrison and Isabella Triplett (Harrison).

Mrs. Vinnetta Maude Wells (Ranke) (b. Jan. 11, 1874)
and her sister Mrs. Martha Julia Wells (Logan) (b. Dec. 27,
1 866 d. Aug. 28, 1956), of Washington, D. C., were daughters
of John Henry Wells and Lee Ann Blackburn (Wells). The
Wells family are descended from Bishop Hugo de Welles,
who on June 15, 1215, at Runnymede, England, presented the
Magna Carta to King John to be signed. Vinnetta Wells
Ranke has given to the authors much valuable information and
advice in the preparation of this book. She is also the author
of “Our Forefathers”, which contains genealogical data on the
Wells, Blackburn and many other related families; and of
“Historical Classics”, a collection of the world’s great docu¬
ments from the Ten Commandments to the present time, which
is preserved in the Rare Book Division of the Library of
Congress.

It was stated in the booklet by C. C. Randolph that the
town of Blackburn in England was bestowed on Gamaliel De
Blackburn, who came over from Normandy with William the
Conqueror.

Richard Blackburn and Mary Watts (Ashton) (Blackburn)
had six children:

( 1) Jane Blackburn (Baylis) (Kincheloe), 1 1-W, who was
born in 1733, and married John Baylis in 1754;

(2) Ann Blackburn (Elliott) (Carey), born in 1735, who
married (1) William Elliott of Gloucester Co., Va., and (2)
John Carey of Gloucester Co., Va.;

(3) Mary Blackburn (Ballendine), born in 1737, who
married John Ballendine of Fairfax Co., Va.3

(4) Alice Blackburn (Ellzey), born in 1738, who married
William Ellzey, of Fairfax Co., Va.3

(5) John Blackburn, born in 1740 and died in 1760 at
Rippon Lodge, unmarried 3

(6) Thomas Blackburn, born in 1742 at Rippon Lodge,
where he died on Oct. 27, 1807. He married Christian Scott,
a sister of John Scott, who instigated the duel in which John
Baylis was killed. He was a colonel in the Revolution, and a
close friend of George Washington.

The high standing of Richard Blackburn in early Virginia
history may be judged by the epitaph on his tomb in the provate
cemetery at Rippon Lodge. The original marble slab has
gradually disintegrated and become partly illegible. A beau¬
tiful bronze tablet bearing the entire inscription was erected by
Wade Hampton Ellis, owner of Rippon Lodge from 1924 to
his death in 1948.

On April 11, 1774 (Pr. Wm. Co. Deed Book J., p 184,
Mary Blackburn (widow of Richard) “assigns to her son
Thomas Blackburn all her title, claim and inheritance in and
to the third part of the profits of the Estate of Col. Richard
Blackburn, deceased, while under the management of Col. John
Baylis, deceased, which has never been settled with me” (no

Refers to “road that Leads to Dumfries.”

Rippon Lodge, the home of Richard Blackburn, is so attrac¬
tive and has so many historical associations, that it deserves an
extended description. The following brief account is based in
part on a recent article by Mary Anne Peters, published in “The
Journal Messenger” at Manassas, Va., on Feb. 4, 1954, which
in turn included information supplied by the present owner of
Rippon Lodge, Capt. Richard Blackburn Black, U.S.N.R.,
112,421,12.

Among the early records of land purchased by Richard
Blackburn is that recorded in the Deed Book B of Prince Wm.
Co., pp 441-3, dated May 20, 1735. In this deed, Thomas
Pinson releases to Richard Blackburn of the Parish of Hamil¬
ton, Prince Wm. Co., Carpenter, land containing 100 acres
more or less, in the fork of the Neabsco. Between 1733 and
1735 there were several other land deeds to Richard Blackburn.
On one of these deeds, dated Aug. 20, 1734, August Washing¬
ton ( no doubt the father of George Washington) was a witness.
It is certain that prior to the above dates Richard Blackburn
owned some of his ultimate 20,000 acre estate, adjoining lands
of George Mason. That the house, Rippon Lodge, was built
in 1725 was established in 1932, when the then owner, Wade
Hampton Ellis, found it necessary to remove some of the
sheathing to destroy a hive of bees located in the outer wall.
On one of the beams then disclosed was carved the date “1 725”.

Rippon Lodge is located on a small creek called the
Neabsco, close to its junction with the Potomac River. It is
now reached by a private road leading from a gateway with
brick columns, each surmounted by a pineapple ornament, on
U. S. Route 1, about 10 miles south of Mt. Vernon, and 4
miles south of Woodbridge, Va. The building has been almost
continuously occupied since it was built in 1725, and has hence
been well preserved. Its historic value has been recognized

BIOGRAPHIES OF THE BAYLIS FAMILY

151

by patriotic societies, including the D.A.R. Plans of the build¬
ing are preserved in the Library of Congress.

Near the road leading to Rippon Lodge from Route 1,'is
a bronze tablet with the following inscription.

“The old Potomac Path originally an Indian trail and
traversed by early settlers. It later became the first coach and
postroad between northern and southern colonies and was called

THE KINGS HIGHWAY.

General Washington often stopped here to visit Colonel
Blackburn. (Note — Colonel Thomas Blackburn). Over this
way also passed the Colonial and French Officers and troops at
the time of the Battle of Yorktown.

This old road extends for about 3 miles through Rippon
Lodge where it has been preserved by Wade H. Ellis present
owner of the property.

Marked and dedicated May 13, 1933 by the Susan Riviere
Hetzel Chap. D. C. — D.A.R.”

At the west end of the house is a bronze tablet reading as
follows:

“House built about 1725 by Richard Blackburn. Later
residence of his son Colonel Thomas Blackburn, friend and
comrade in arms of General Washington who also visited here.
Also family home of Mrs. Bushrod Washington (Ann Black¬
burn) and Mrs. John Augustine Washington (Jane Charlotte
Blackburn) each in turn the mistress of Mt. Vernon.

Erected by Mt. Vernon Chap. D.A.R.”

The visits of General Washington to Rippon Lodge are
confirmed by the following and other entries in his diary.

“June 10, 1788. Between 9 and 10 o’clock set out for
Fredericksburg, accompanied by Mrs. Washington on a visit to
my mother. Made a visit to Mr. and Mrs. Thompson in Col¬
chester, and reached Col. Blackburns to dinner where we lodged
— he was from home — the next morning about sunrise we
continued our journey — breakfasted at Stafford Court House.”

Further association of the Washington and Blackburn fami¬
lies is found in the several marriages between the two families.

152

THE BAYLIS FAMILY OF VIRGINIA

Julia Ann Blackburn (Washington), daughter of Thomas
Blackburn, was born in 1768, and died in 1829. In 1785 she
married Bushrod Washington, a nephew of George Washing¬
ton, and was mistress of Mt. Vernon. Bushrod Washington
was the son of John Augustine Washington and Hanna Bush¬
rod (Washington). He was born on June 5, 1762, in West¬
moreland Co., Va., and died in Philadelphia, Pa. on November
26, 1 829. He inherited Mt. Vernon from George Washington.
He was an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court in 1798.

George Washington bequeathed to Bushrod Washington a
sword, and also all his civil and military papers, which were
later purchased by Congress and are now in the U. S. Archives.
Also his private papers and books.

Jane Charlotte Blackburn was a daughter of Richard Scott
Blackburn and Judith Ball Blackburn. She was born on August
23, 1786, and died on September 6, 1855 at Blakeley, W. Va.
She married John Augustine Washington, a grand nephew of
George Washington.

Outside of the tomb of George Washington at Mt. Vernon
are two monuments, on one of which is inscribed:

“Within the vault lie buried the mortal remains of
BUSHROD WASHINGTON
An Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of U. S.
b. 1762; died in Phila. Nov. 26, ’29 Aged 68.

Bv his side is interred his devoted wife

ANNA BLACKBURN
Who survived her beloved husband but 2 days,

Aged 60.”

On the other monument is inscribed:

“ — Sacred to the memory of John Augustine,

Son of Corbin and Hannah Lee Washington and
nephew^ of Judge Washington, who appointed him one
of his executors and bequeathed him Mt. \’^ernon,
where he died June 16, 1832. Aged 43.

Jane Charlotte Blackburn (Washington) was the last owner
of Mt. Vernon, and was the last person whose body was in¬
terred in the vault, the key of which was then thrown into the
Potomac River.

On June 9, 1939, King George VI of England and the
Queen placed a wreath before the tomb of Washington. At
that time the Queen asked President and Mrs. Franklin D.
Roosevelt about these two Blackburn girls who married
nephews of George Washington.

Anna Maria Thomasona Blackburn, a sister of Jane Char¬
lotte Blackburn, married Bushrod Corbin Washington, brother
of John Augustine Washington. So the two sisters married
brothers.

Rippon Lodge remained in the Blackburn family until
1811, when it was purchased by the Atkinson family, and sub¬
sequently had several other owners. In 1924 it was bought by
Wade Hampton Ellis, a lawyer in Washington, D. C. He was
a direct descendant of Christopher Blackburn, who lived in
Rappahannock Co., Va. in 1668. Wade Hampton Ellis was
the son of A. C. Ellis of Fauquier Co., Va., and Catherine
Blackburn { Ellis) a daughter of Christopher Blackburn III.
Wade H. Ellis was Attorney General of Ohio from 1904 to
1908j campaign manager for President William Howard Taft
in 1908^ and Assistant U. S. Attorney General from 1908 to
1910. When he learned of Rippon Lodge as the old Black¬
burn estate, he purchased it in 1924, and used it as his country
home until his death in 1948, at the age of 82. The restora¬
tion and preservation of Rippon Lodge are due largely to the
efforts of Wade Hampton Ellis and his wife, Dessie Dorwin
Chase (Ellis), who devoted their time and money to the care
of this historic mansion. Mrs. Ellis died on April 14, 1957,
at the age of 90.

In 1952 Rippon Lodge was bought by Capt. Richard Black-

burn Black, U.S.N.R., 112,421,12j who with his wife, Aviza
Johnson (Black), and family, now make it their permanent
home. As the house has been almost continuously occupied
and is well preserved, it has not been greatly changed by its
successive owners. At the East end (the left in the photo¬
graph, front.) Wade H. Ellis constructed the “River Room”,
in which are kept many historic relics of Richard Blackburn,
including a basin wig stand, a “Bible chair”, and a pistol used
in the duel in which John Baylis was killed. In order to pre¬
serve the association of Rippon Lodge with Ripon, England,
the birthplace of Richard Blackburn, Mr. and Mrs. Ellis made
many visits to Ripon, England. They obtained there pieces of
14th century stained glass from the windows of Ripon Cathe¬
dral, which they have leaded together to form a beautiful
screen. Mr. and Mrs. Ellis also made generous gifts to the
Ripon Cathedral, for which they are well remembered.

In 1954, the authors, Willetta Baylis Blum and William
Blum, Sr., visited this beautiful cathedral in Ripon, England,
and saw some graves of Blackburns who were buried there.
We attended services at the Cathedral, where Richard Black¬
burn worshipped, and the first crypt of which dates back to
670 A.D.

Throughout the house at Rippon Lodge, Va. are seven fire¬
places, which still dispense warmth and cheer, even though a
modern heating system has been installed. In the large
entrance hall is a fine portrait of Daniel Boone, from whom
Mrs. Aviza Johnson (Black), 1 12,421, 12-W(2) is descended.

On the second floor is a large hallway, which leads to the
master bedroom, of which it can be truthfully said “George
Washington slept here.” In this bedroom is the noted “Bonnet
Fireplace.” Several other bed rooms are on the second floor.

Leading from the basement is an underground tunnel, dis¬
covered by Mr. Ellis, who cleared it out and reinforced it with
a brick lining, but with some of the original stones disclosed.
This tunnel leads into a beautiful boxwood garden in a ravine

156

THE BAYLIS FAMILY OF VIRGINIA

at the east of the house. This tunnel is thought to have been
made as a means of escape from attacks by Indians, though it
may also have given access to an outdoor kitchen. In the tun¬
nel wall was found a cannon ball, believed to have landed there
during the attack on Washington in 1812. In a beautiful
grove some distance from the house and reached by a path lined
with laurel and rhododendron is the family cemetery, in which
are the graves of Richard Blackburn and his wife Mary Watts
(Ashton) (Blackburn) j and of members of the Atkinson fam¬
ily. It is probable that John Baylis and his wife Jane Black¬
burn (Baylis) are buried there in two unmarked graves, and
also Col. Thomas Blackburn and his wife.

The grounds are beautiful, and furnish a fine view of the
nearby Neabsco Creek, the more distant Potomac River, and
the Maryland shore. The present owners. Captain and Mrs.
Richard Blackburn Black, are working hard to preserve the
beauty and the spirit of the home and the estate, which now
covers about 575 acres. An old fashioned herb garden is being
restored, with a “warming pool”, such as those in which cold
spring water was warmed by the sunshine before it was used to
water plants. The entire Baylis family may well feel proud
of their descent from the Blackburn family who built this
beautiful Rippon Lodge.

12. William Baylis. Little is known of this William
Baylis, except that he was the son of William Baylis, 1, and
brother of John Baylis, 11, and Samuel Baylis, 13. This
William Baylis died in 1764, as recorded in the Bond Book,
p 26, in the Court House at Manassas, Va., on May 10, 1764.
His brother, John Baylis, 1 1, was named as executor. William
Baylis fought in the French-Indian Wars, and expected to re¬
ceive for his services 6000 acres of land on the Kanawha River.
On April 21, 1756, he received 2400 lbs. of tobacco for 80
days service. In 1 763, he and his company received 35 £, 1 0/.
In Deed Book 10 of Frederick Co., Va., Records, on pp 155
and 157 is recorded the transfer to William Baylis, 112, by

Lewis Reno and his wife Elizabeth, of 428 acres, surveyed by
William Baylis, 12. This Lewis Reno is probably the father
of George Reno, 115-H. A deed to a lot No. 156 in Win¬
chester was granted to William Baylis, 12, by the Rt. Honor¬
able Sir Thomas Fairfax on May 5, 1763. On June 4, 1752,
William Baylis was a witness on an indenture in Frederick Co.,
Va. (Deed Book 2, p 470).

On Jan. 19, 1757, William Baylis married Ann Gough.
We have found no record of his descendants.

13. Samuel Baylis. Samuel Baylis and his wife, Ann,
are referred to in the will of his father, William Baylis, 1, filed
at Manassas, Va., on May 27, 1754.

(Deed Book P, Pr. Wm. Co., p 349) Samuel Baylis and
Ann his wife on Aug. 11, 1760, lease and release to John Baylis,
consideration 5 £ and 40 £ a tract of land on branches of
Neabsco Run containing 215 acres, ^^as will more fully appear
by a deed from the Proprietor’s Office dated the twenty-third
day of May in the Year of Our Lord One thousand seven hun¬
dred and forty. Granted to William Baylis, who devised the
same by his last will and Testament to the aforesaid Samuel
Baylis.”

(Deed Book Q, Pr. Wm. Co., p 56.) On July 29, 1763,
Samuel Baylis sells to John Baylis slaves (Ben, Joan, Pegg,
Tom, Abram, Lucy and Sail), horses, cattle, household furni¬
ture, implements, tobacco, etc. Consideration 145 £.

(Deed Book Q, Pr. Wm. Co., pp 463-467) Samuel Baylis
and Anne his wife Jan. 16 & 17, 1767 lease and release to
Fonsbee Tebbs a tract of land whereon the said Samuel Baylis
now lives, and which was devised to him by his father William
Baylis, Dec’d. 300 acres on the North Branch of Bull Run.

On May 11, 1761, Samuel Baylis and William Baylis acted
in the poll for the election of Burgesses.

We have located a reference to a Samuel Baylis who died
in 1779 and was buried at Platts Hill, but have not established
his identity.

158

THE BAYLIS FAMILY OF VIRGINIA

Up to this time we have not located descendants of this
Samuel and William Baylis. It is probable that some Baylis
persons living in Eastern Virginia, and some who lived in Wil¬
mington, Delaware, are descended from these two brothers.
This is a fertile field for more research than we have been able
to devote to it.

THIRD GENERATION

Children of John Baylis, 11, and Jane Blackburn
(Baylis)

111: Ann Baylis (Randolph) was born in August, 1755,
the oldest child of John Baylis, 11, and Jane Blackburn
(Baylis). When only 15 years old, she married Thompson
Randolph, the son of John and Anne Randolph, and they had
four children, two of whom died in infancy. In 1780, Thomp¬
son Randolph and Ann Baylis (Randolph) and their two boys
moved from Virginia to Kentucky, where they settled at Kinch-
lowe Station, Jefferson Co. In 1782, the garrison there was
attacked by the Indians, and Ann Baylis (Randolph) and her
youngest son, 1 1 1 ,4, were killed by the Indians. Thompson
Randolph and his 4 year old son, William Baylis Randolph,
111,3, escaped. The following detailed account of this mas¬
sacre is given in a booklet entitled “Family History”, written
by Clarence Coulson Randolph in 1906, and published at
Alliance, Ohio, by the Review Publishing Co. Clarence Coul¬
son Randolph, 111,3(11)1, was the grandson of William Baylis
Randolph, 111,3, who escaped from the Indians with the
father.

“I now give the account of his fight with the Indians as it was
told by Thompson Randolph to my grandfather, and as we have it
by tradition. Thompson Randolph defended his cabin with two
old Kentucky rifles (my brother, Walter, now has one of them, the
other was lost that night). His wife loaded one gun while he
fired through the porthole in the door with the other. It is sup¬
posed he shot several Indians, but they finally got a small log and
ran with it endwise against the door; seeing that the door would be
broken in, he told his wife to take the baby and open the window

BIOGRAPHIES OF THE BAYLIS FAMILY

that opened outside of the stockade. She opened the window and
tried to get out, but she and the child were shot dead by one of two
Indians who were outside of the stockade. Randolph then took
his son and the loaded rifle and opening the roof got out where the
two Indians were, leaving his boy on the roof. He held his rifle
in his left hand; the Indians at first tried to tie him, but he threw
the big Indian down into a place where they had got out clay to
make mortar for the cabin; the little Indian fell on both of them;
the big Indian grunted and was very mad; they soon struggled to
their feet. The little Indian’s gun not being loaded, he tried to
take Randolph’s gun away from him, but just as the big Indian’s
gun missed fire Randolph pulled his gun away from the small
Indian and shot the big one dead. When the little Indian made a
pass at his throat with a knife he threw up his hand, but was cut
in the side of the head. He then caught the Indian’s knife blade
in his hand and taking it away from the Indian, cut him open with
it, but his own hand was badlv cut. The Indian ran around in a
circle screaming. Taking his son from the roof he ran to a small
opening in the brush fence that was around the clearing. The
Indians who pursued him missed finding this opening and thus he
gained a little time and concealed himself and child in a log heap
between two logs, where they stayed till morning and all the next
day. He tore up part of his shirt to tie up his head, as he was
losing much blood. The second night he heard some bells ringing
and thought he would try to catch a horse, but before he got to
where the bells were ringing he heard a shot and a white man
scream. ‘‘Oh, God, I’m shot!” While he was hunting a horse, a
white dog that belonged to Ausburn Bland came to his child and
caused him to scream. He ran back to his child, but some Indians
followed him, and he and the child would have been captured but
the white dog turned and fought the Indians savagely, thus enabling
Randolph and his child to hide in the darkness. They afterwards
escaped to Cox’s Station, which was about six miles distant.”

“Randolph’s fight with the Indians is spoken of in “Heartey’s
Life of Daniel Boone.” Heartey makes the mistake of using the
name Thomas Instead of Thompson. The place and the incidents
spoken of are all the same.”

111-H. Thompson Randolph was the son of John and
Anne Thompson (Randolph). After the death of Ann Baylis
(Randolph), her husband sent the only surviving son, William
Baylis Randolph, 1 1 1,3, back to Virginia, where he was raised
by his uncle, William Baylis, 1 1 2. Later Thompson Randolph
remarried and returned to Dumfries, Prince William Co., Va.,

J60

THE BAYLIS FAMILY OF VIRGINIA

where he lived till his death in 1826. From his second mar¬
riage he had a son John, and a daughter Mary Randolph, who
was born in 1 800 and married a Mr. Davis in 1 823, and moved
to Calloway Co., Missouri. In 1855 one of their sons, Mat¬
thew King Davis, visited their grandfather Davis in Virginia.

That Thompson Randolph was not vindictive against the
Indians in spite of his loss of wife and son is shown by an
incident related by Clarence Coulson Randolph. In company
with Daniel Boone, he had gone to destroy the Indian town of
new Chillicothee in Ohio. After the Indians were routed,
Randolph saw an Indian boy running from a white man.
Randolph vainly attempted to save the boy, and denounced and
nearly fought the man who had killed the helpless Indian boy.

1 12. William Baylis, the oldest son of John Baylis, 1 1,
was born on August 20, 1758, at Dumfries, Va. On May 22,
1780, he married Elizabeth Turner, as recorded in the follow¬
ing Marriage Bond in Fauquier Co., Va.

“Know all men by these presents that we William Baylis and
Hezikiah Turner .... are held and firmly bound unto his Excel¬
lency, Thomas Jefferson, Esq. Goyernor of the Commonw’ealth of
\ irginia in the sum of fifty pounds Current money to which
‘paiment’ well and truly to be made to the said Thomas Jefferson
and his successors we bind ourselyes, our heirs. Executors and Ad¬
ministrators jointly and seyerally by these presents. Sealed with
our Seals and dated this 22d day of May 1780.

“The condition of the aboye obligation is such that whereas
there is a marriage shortly intended to be solemnized between the
aboye bound William Baylis and Elizabeth Turner — for which a
license has issued. Now if there be no lawfful cause to obstruct the
said intended marriage then the aboye obligation to be yoid or else
to remain in force.”

William Baylis and Elizabeth Turner (Baylis) had eight
children. The family lived in Frederick Co., Va., until 1 814j

in Strasburg, Va., till 1817j near Morganfield, Ky., from 1820
to 1836, and in Calhoun, Henry Co., Missouri, from 1836
until his death on June 18, 1843.

On April 5, 1836, his daughter, Ann Blackburn Baylis
(Fawcett), 113,4, wrote to her first cousin, William Baylis
Randolph, 111,3 (the child saved from the Indians) a letter
of which the original is preserved by Richard Blackburn
Black, 112,421,12, printed in full on p. 181. In it she wrote
that her sister, Elizabeth Martha Baylis (McLean) (Lewis),
112,8, and her husband George Lewis, planned to move to
Missouri that year, and that her father William Baylis, 112,
was going with them. She and her mother both opposed this
move of her father, and she urged her cousin to “divert my
father’s attention from Missouri. He is as much carried away
with it, as he was with going to Kentucky sixteen years ago, and
I think they will all be as tired of it in that many months as
they are now of Ky.”

On Jan. 31, 1780, William Baylis leased to Peter Louck a
lot in Winchester, Va., bequeathed to him by his father, John
Baylis, in his last will (Deed Book 18, Frederick Co., Va., p
370). On May 2, 1780, William Baylis “eldest son and heir
at law of John Baylis, late of the County of Prince William,
Gentleman, deceased” grants to Abraham Louvain a lot in
Winchester, Va., bequeathed to said William Baylis.

According to the Pension Records of May 15, 1818, Wil¬
liam Baylis enlisted in April, 1777, in the Twelfth Virginia
Regiment, commanded by Col. James Wood. He fought at
Brandywine, Germantown, Monmouth and Paulus Hook, N. J.,
where he was wounded. He commanded a company of militia
at Yorktown, Va. He resigned his commission as Captain in
July or August, 1780. In 1783, Capt. William Baylis was
listed as having failed to recruit troops in Fauquier Co. It was
then reported that other counties had failed, and that “paper
money was worthless”.

Many details of his military service are recorded in the

THE BAYLIS FAMILY OF VIRGINIA

efforts to secure an adequate pension for Capt. William Baylis.
In 1792, he was given a warrant for 27 £ 12/. On Jan. 15,
1821, it was recorded that his property (probably in Kentucky)
and including three negroes, was destroyed by fire.

On March 29, 1819, he was granted a pension of $20 per
month, to commence May 5, 1819. On Dec. 26, 1830, Chief
Justice John Marshall (who was also from Fauquier Co.) wrote
the following letter to Hon. Crittenden Lyon of the House of
Representatives.

“Sir: I take the liberty to commit to your care a letter to Capt.
Baylis in answer to one which you had the goodness to enclose to
me. Capt. Baylis wishes me to state his services in war of Revo¬
lution as far as they came within my observation. I was intimately
acquainted with him during the campaigns of 1777-8-9, through
which he served with fidelity. He was a brave and faithful officer
and I do not believe that he lost a day’s duty during the three
campaigns. After the close of the campaign of 1779 wffien we
came into winter quarters at Morristown, N. J., the remnant of the
\7a. line consisting of a verv few soldiers enlisted for the war were
sent into ^"a., and the officers who had no command came into the
state to remain on furlough till men should be raised for them.

Capt. Bavlis and myself with 4 or 5 other officers walked in to¬
gether. I do not know how he left the service, probably by resig¬
nation, as he married in the year 1780.

“I am sir very respectfully

Your. Obed. J. Marshall”

In the Land Office Records of Kentucky, a warrant was
Issued to survey for William Baylis 2666 2-3 acres due for his
3 years service. It is doubtful whether he ever received this
land.

On Aug. 20, 1832, a petition was submitted by William
Baylis for a pension as Captain. This recites in detail his
Revolutionary service under Col. James Wood and Capt. Wm.
Voss. He was with General George Washington at Morris¬
town, and was Paymaster of Wood’s Regiment, with the rank
and pay of Captain. He was in the battle of Brandywine and
at Valley Forge. In 1778 he was in the battles of Monmouth,
White Plains and West Point, where he completed the fortifi¬
cations. Here he took command of Capt. Presley NeviPs Co.

at Paulus Hook. Was home on furlough, and in 1781 was
made Capt. of a company he raised in Fauquier Co., Va., which
joined the Army at Williamsburg. Was there three months
until the surrender at Yorktown. He marched with prisoners
from Yorktown to Frederick Co., Va., where he was discharged.
In his petition he stated that he was nearly blind. (He was
then 74 years old.)

In a “power of attorney” dated April 10, 1836, sealed with
the official seal of Union County Court of Kentucky, attested
by James R. Hughs April 20, 1836, and signed by William
Baylis, it states “Know all men by these presents that I, William
Baylis of Union County in the state of Kentucky hath nomi¬
nated . . . and by these presents doth nominate, constitute and
appoint my son-in-law John Fawcett . . . my true and lawful
attorney in fact for the following purposes, to wit, to make
examinations and ascertain how much land I am entitled to as
an officer in the Virginia Continental line, to ascertain . . .
where the said lands are located in the state of Ohio, and for
me in my name to cause patents to be issued therefore.”

While William Baylis was eligible for the Society of the
Cincinnati, founded in 1783, he did not attend this initial meet¬
ing of the officers and hence did not become a member. His
absence may have been caused by his wound in 1778, or by the
fact that he was discharged in 1781 and was unable to get to
the meeting at Newburg, N. Y., in 1783. However, one of
his descendants, William Dulaney Steele, 1 12,312, was elected
to the Society of the Cincinnati in 1898, as a descendant of
Capt. William Baylis j and in 1956, Richard Blackburn Black,
1 12,421,12, succeeded him as a descendant of William Baylis.

112-W Elizabeth Turner (Baylis) was the daughter
of Capt. Hezekiah Turner of Fauquier Co., Va., and Henrietta
Chunn, who lived in Trinity Parish, Charles County, Md. She
was born on March 28, 1765, and died in 1841 in Calboun,
Henry Co., Missouri, where she was buried.

Through the kindness of Miss Helen Montague Turner of
Warwick, Va., we received copious notes on the early Turner
and Chunn families. These have been incorporated into Sup¬
plements xA. and B in Chapter 5, which we hope will prove
of interest to readers of this book.

113 Henry Baylis. Henry, the second son of John
Baylis, 11, was born on July 1, 1760, at Dumfries, Va. On
Feb. 25, 1 788, he married Mary Sophia Edmunds, as recorded
on p 228 of the Marriage Bond Records of Fauquier Co., Va.
They had seven children.

While Henry Baylis was married in Fauquier Co., Va., he
spent most of his life in Frederick Co., Va. His home was
about one half mile from Opequon, Va., on a farm that ex¬
tended across to Stephens City, Va. In recent years the old
chimney of the slave quarters was still standing and was used
to burn trash by the recent owners, the Bywaters family. At
one time there was a race track on the farm.

The following records show that Henry Baylis was an
extensive land owner.

On Dec. 3, 1781, Henry Baylis sells to Richard Davis a
tract of land containing 60 acres “beginning at a corner of
Cornelius Kincheloes ( his stepfather) on Cedar Run a few
poles above a noted spring called the “Spout Spring”. (Note

— Joseph Franklin Baylis, Jr., 113,165,4, now owns a home
near this noted spot on land probably once owned by his ances¬
tor, Henry Baylis.)

On Mar. 2, 1811, Henry Baylis and Sophia his wife deed
to James Singleton 77 acres “part of a tract of land in Freder¬
ick Co. whereon said Henry Baylis now lives”.

On June 25, 1816, Henry Baylis deeds to Isaac Hollings¬
worth 50 acres of land adjoining above land sold to Singleton.

On Sept. 25, 1820, Henry Baylis gave a deed of trust to
George Orrick for “one young woman slave named Sarah, one
young male slave named Isaac, and one young male slave
named Phil”, as security against loss to Isaac Hollingsworth
through becoming endorser on a negotiable note for $475.

On June 25, 1826, Henry and Sophia Baylis deed to their
son Thomas B. Baylis, 1 13,3, a tract of 222 acres.

On Nov. 2, 1826, Henry and Sophia Baylis give deed to
Alex. S. Tidball for Isaac Hollingsworth.

On Nov. 2, 1826, 100 acres were deeded back to Henry
Baylis by Reed, Trustee.

On April 21, 1827, Henry Baylis gives deed to Alex. S.
Tidball for Isaac Hollingsworth for 240 acres on which Henry
Baylis then lived, adjoining lands of Singletons, Snapps, Carrs,
and Hollingsworth.

On Dec. 22, 1827, Henry Baylis gives deed of trust for
two negroes to Seth Mason.

On Jan. 29, 1828, Henry and Thomas B. Baylis convey
certain negroes and lands (240 acres) on which Henry Baylis
resides.

On Jan. 22, 1829, Henry Baylis gives deed to negroes,
stock, utensils, etc., to his wife Sophia in consideration of her
relinquishing her title to certain land.

We have not been able to find a record of the burial place
of Henry Baylis, but it is believed that he was buried in the
Wisecarver Cemetery near Fawcett’s Gap, Va., where his two
sons, John Edmunds Baylis, 113,1, and Thomas Blackburn
Baylis, 113,3 were buried.

Henry Baylis had a fine military record. On Aug. 6, 1777,
he was an Ensign of Infantry in the Continental Line. In
1781 he was a Captain in the Sixth Virginia Regiment. He
retired from the service on Jan. 1, 1783.

On Sept. 11, 1781, he received as pay for his services
$1000, and on Oct. 8, 1781, $1000, paid by Charles Stockley
(War Dept. Certificates, U. S. Archives). In Jan. 1782 he
received $90 for pay, and $73 for subsistence. He also re¬
ceived 150 acres of land.

In Nov. 1798, he took the oath as Major of the 51st Regi¬
ment of Virginia Militia.

In 1 828 he received a pension of $240 per year, up to his
death in 1 835.

Henry Baylis was an original member of the Society of the
Cincinnati, founded by American and French officers on May
10, 1783 at Newburg, N. Y. In 1849, Ellis Edmund Baylis,
113,121,11, was elected to the Society of the Cincinnati as a
descendant of Henry Baylis, 1 13^ and in 1956, Richard Black¬
burn Black, 1 12,421,12, was elected as a descendant of William
Baylis, 112.

The Society of the Cincinnati is the oldest patriotic society
in the United States. At the close of he American Revolution
it was founded on May 13, 1783, at Newburg, N. Y., by
Officers of the American Army, through the efforts of Major
General Henry Knox. General George Washington was
elected the first President of the Society and served until his
death in 1799. The objects of the Society of the Cincinnati
are described in the following official statement.

“SOCIETY OF THE CINCINNATI
Objects

Founded in 1783

The following principles shall be immutable and form the basis of the
Society of the Cincinnati: An incessant attention to preserve inviolate those
exalted rights and liberties of Human nature, for which they fought and
bled, and w'ithout which the high rank of a rational being is a curse instead
of a blessing. An unalterable determination to promote and cherish, between

BIOGRAPHIES OF THE BAYLIS FAMILY

167

the respective States, that union and national honor so essentially necessary to
their happiness, and the future dignity of the American Empire. To render
permanent the cordial affection subsisting among the officers. This spirit will
dictate brotherly kindness in all things, and particularly, extend to the most
substantial acts of beneficence, according to the ability of the Society, towards
those officers and their families, who unfortunately may be under the neces¬
sity of receiving it.

Membership: A person who is the primogenitive representative of an
officer in the Continental Line who served in the War of the Revolution.”

The Society derives its name from the illustrious Roman,
Lucius Quintius Cincinnatus, who returned from the Army to
resume his duties as a citizen. It is not named after the city
of Cincinnati, which was named for the same Roman. There
are at present about 1500 members, including many descendants
in France of Lafayette and other Frenchmen who aided our
cause. In fact a Branch of the Society of the Cincinnati was
organized in France early in 1784, and is still continued. An
extensive book entitled “Order of the Cincinnati in France”
was written by Asa Bird Gardiner in 1904. A copy, originally
owned by J. B. Baylor, an American member of the Society, was
presented to Willetta Baylis (Blum), 113,167, by Dr. George
W. Vinal, a scientist now retired from the National Bureau of
Standards, whose father was an intimate friend of J. B. Baylor.

The diploma and medal were designed by Major Charles
Pierre L’Enfant, the French engineer who planned the city
of Washington, D. C. Since 1938 the National Headquarters
of the Society is located in Washington, D. C., in a beautiful
mansion presented to the Society by Mrs. Larz Anderson,
widow of the U. S. diplomat Larz Anderson. In this building
is a marvelous collection of paintings, tapestries and other
treasures. The building is open to the public.

Membership in the Society is confined to direct male de-
scendents (by “primogenitur”) of the original members, or of
those Officers who did not for any reason join the Society j or
to other descendants when appropriate. Henry Baylis, 113,
was one of the original members. His brother, William

168

THE BAYLIS FAMILY OF VIRGINIA

Baylis, 112, did not join because he was then recovering from
a wound.

In the booklet by C. C. Randolph is related a story of
Henry Baylis and his brother William Baylis, when they were
both Captains in the campaign against Cornwallis at York-
town. The two Captains were standing up on stumps to direct
the movement of their troops. Baron Friederick Wilhelm
\Yn Steuben, the German General who did so much to train
the American troops, made them get down from the stumps.
He exclaimed, “You want to be damn fools because that Eng¬
lish Captain is: You will be picked off like flies.” Frequent¬
ly Willetta Baylis (Blum), 113,167, takes her friends to see
the statue of Baron Von Steuben in Lafayette Square across
from the White House in Washington, D. C. Pointing to Von
Steuben, she says, “He is the cause of my being here today.”

Lafayette Square also contains statues of Marquis de Lafay¬
ette, Count Rochambeau, and General Kosiusko, all of whom
came from European countries to aid the American Colonies
during the War of the Revolution.

113-W. Mary Sophia Edml^nds (Baylis) was born on
March 8, 1770 and died on June 17, 1842. In 1829 Henry
Baylis deeded certain property to her. In Frederick Co., Va.
Will Book 21, p. 158, the appraisal of her estate includes 5
slaves valued at $675 and personal property valued at $407.

There is a tradition in the Baylis family that Mary Sophia
Edmunds (Baylis) was the daughter of a Capt. Thomas
Edmunds. Even after a careful search we have not been able
to locate a definite authority for this statement. Our search was
complicated by the fact that, according to Gwathmey, “His¬
torical Register of Virginians in the Revolution” there were
two persons named Capt. Thomas Edmunds, both from Sussex
Co., Va. One of these died in 1791, and the other in 1820
or 1825. They were not father and son, but may have been
uncle and nephew. For convenience, we will refer to these
two persons as “Capt. Thomas Edmunds (I), and Capt.

BIOGRAPHIES OF THE BAYLIS FAMILY

169

Thomas Edmunds (II). The present evidence indicates that
Mary Sophia Edmunds (Baylis) may have been the daughter
of Capt. Thomas Edmunds (I). We have included a brief
biography of each of these persons in the hope that some one
will make further searches on this subject.

Much of the following inform_ation was obtained by the
authors on an auto trip to Sussex and Surry Counties, Va. in
1957. This trip included drives over “back roads” through
beautiful pine forests and dark cypress swamps, often for miles
without a visible house. We visited courthouses and planta¬
tions and interviewed many persons, including Mr. T. D.
Foster, Superintendent of Schools in Sussex Co., who was the
principal author of a book published by P. W. A. in 1942,
entitled “Sussex County. A tale of Three Centuries”. At
Littleton, Sussex Co. we talked with Mrs. Maggie Shelton
(Stephenson), 96 years old, and her son Robert Stephenson
and his wife, on their 1000 acre plantation. They showed us
a copy of “The New Virginia Justice” published in 1795 by
William Walter Henning. In the printed list of subscribers
were the names of Thomas Edmunds of Sussex County and
William Edmunds, Jr. of Fauquier County. It is possible that
Capt. Thomas Edmunds (I), who died in 1791, may have
subscribed to this book before his death.

Capt. Thomas Edmunds (I) was the great grandson of
Capt. Howell Edmunds, who died in 1728, and the grandson
of Thomas Edmunds. The latter’s son, John Edmunds, was
the first delegate to the Virginia House of Burgesses from
Sussex Co., which was created in 1754. When John Edmunds
died in 1770, his son, Capt. Thomas Edmunds (I) succeeded
him in the House of Burgesses.

Capt. Thomas Edmunds (I) was an extensive owner of
land in Sussex, Charlotte and Brunswick Counties. Part of
this land was in or adjacent to the Assamussick Swamp, (now
spelled “Assamoosic”.) He possessed at least 1000 acres, in

170

THE BAYLIS FAMILY OF VIRGINIA

addition to 4500 acres he was entitled to receive as a bounty
for Revolutionary War service.

Capt. Thomas Edmunds ( I) died on February 15, 1791
and was buried at Farnham, Sussex Co. The inventories ot
his estate included about 25 slaves and much farm equipment.
He had a large library, including 25 volumes of law books j 6
volumes of legal papers; Arabian Nights; Addison’s Evidence
and Spectator; and Bailey’s and Gardiner’s dictionaries.

Capt. Thomas Edmunds ( I) did not join the Society of the
Cincinnati when it was organized on May 10, 1783 at New-
burg, N. Y., but was considered as an “original” member when
he joined the Society in Richmond, Va. on Oct. 5, 1783. He
then presented the following certificate, “I have been in Service
as Captain from March 1777 and continued till the close of
the War. My place of residence is Sussex County”. He at¬
tended meetings of the Society in Richmond on July 4, 1785;
November 10, 1787; and October 26, 1790; the latter date
being only a few months before his death in 1791.

The records show that a Capt. Thomas Edmunds, probably
our (I), married Mary Peyton, daughter of Thomas Green
Peyton and Lucy Peyton, and that they had a son, John T.
Edmunds, who married Molly Campbell. We do not know
whether this Thomas Edmunds had other children by this mar¬
riage, who may have included Mary Sophia Edmunds (Baylis).

A Capt. Thomas Edmunds, also probably our (I), married
Sarah Eldridge on November 25, 1771 in Brunswick Co. \ a.
They are recorded as having a son, Nicholas Edmunds, born in
1813. (This latter date appears to be incorrect). We found
no reference to other children by this marriage.

Capt. Thomas Edmunds (II) was the son of John
Edmunds. He became a Captain in the 15th Continental Line
on November 25, 1776. He was wounded at Brandywine on
September 1 1, 1777. On February 12, 1781 he was transfer¬
red to the 3rd Continental Line. On September 8, 1781 he
was wounded at Eutaw Springs. On September 30, 1783 he

BIOGRAPHIES OF THE BAYLIS FAMILY

171

was made a Brevet Major. He did not join the Society of
the Cincinnati.

In 1784 he married Martha Short (b 1763). They had
only one child, John Edmunds, who moved to Kentucky and
had five children. He died prior to 1820. (Other references
give his death as' 1825). It is certain that he was not the
father of Mary Sophia Edmunds (Baylis)

1 14. Lucy Chilton Baylis (Dyson) was born in 1762 at
Dumfries, Va. She married on Dec. 16, 1779, Aquilla Dyson,
according to the Fauquier Co. Marriage Book, p 89. They
then moved to the shore of Chesapeake Bay near Baltimore,
where their seven children were born. After the war of 1812
they moved to Guernsey County (now Noble County), Ohio,
near the town of Ava. Both Lucy and Aquilla, and several of
their children, are buried in a family cemetery on the William
Clark Farm near Ava, Ohio.

The above information and much of the data in this book
on the Dyson family were obtained from “The Spaid Family
of America” compiled by Abraham Thompson Secrest, and
printed in Nov. 1922 by Nitschke Bros., Columbus, Ohio.
Information concerning the ancestry of Aquilla Dyson was
obtained from Miss Helen Montague Turner, and is included
in Supplement B.

1 14~H. Aquilla Dyson was a descendant of Christopher
Dyson, who was knighted by Henry VII in 1489. The Dyson
coat of arms is shown in the Spaid Genealogy.

He lived near Baltimore, fought in the war of 1812, and
then with his family moved to Ohio, where he is buried near
Ava, Ohio. He was the son of Joseph Dyson and Elizabeth
Chunn, who was a sister of Henrietta Chunn, mother of Eliza¬
beth Turner (Baylis), 112-W. In the “Abstract of Charles
Co. and St. Mary’s Co., Maryland (in the Library of Con¬
gress), the will of Thomas Dyson, dated Nov. 2, 1758, states

172

THE BAYLIS FAMILY OF VIRGINIA

that “Thomas Dyson was the father of Joseph Dyson, and
Joseph Dyson was the father of Aquilla Dyson, who married

Lucy Baylis, daughter of John
Baylis and Jane Blackburn.”
This record shows that Abra¬
ham Thompson Secrest in his
“Spaid Family of America”,
made an error when he stated
that “Aquilla Dyson was born
in Wales.”

115. Jane (Jean) Baylis
(Reno) was born at Dumfries,
Va., in 1764. On February
20, 1785, she married George
Reno, according to the Fau¬
quier Marriage Bond Book 1,
p. 138. Her brother, Henry
Baylis, 113, signed the mar¬
riage bond. Because her husband was French, Jane was later
known as Jean.

They had one child. According to Deed Book 4, Prince
William Co., pp 218-219, on March 9, 1796, William
Baylis of Frederick Co., Va., deeds to Baylis Reno, 1 15,1, con¬
sideration $50, a tract of land surveyed by Jno. Baylis, con¬
taining 57 acres, and adjoining lands of Charles Cornwell
and Will Riddle j “Ashmore’s Land, now James Stewart’s^
other lines of Ashmore, now the Rev. James Scott and Col.
Rich^ Blackburn, etc.” Deed witnessed by Geo. Reno, Henry
Baylis, Aquilla Dyson, Geo. Fackett.

H. Baylis (Seal)

1 15-H. George Reno was French, but we have found no
information regarding his birth, parentage, or activities. He
may well have been a son of Lewis Reno and Elizabeth, who
on Sept. 27, 1761, deeded or leased land (428 acres) to
William Baylis, 12.

FOURTH GENERATION

Child of Thompson Randolph and Ann Baylis
(Randolph), 111.

111,3. William Baylis Randolph was born in Prince
William Co., Va., on March 16, 1778, and was only 3J^ years
old when his mother, Ann Baylis (Randolph), was killed by the
Indians in Kentucky. His father sent him back to his uncle,
William Baylis, 1 12, who lived in Virginia. He was a cripple
as a result of a swelling on his heel when he was ten years old.
He learned the stone mason trade as an apprentice to William
Gillum, with whom he had a fight when Gillum refused to
give him the promised $50 and a suit of clothes. His cousin,
John William Baylis, 112,1, only 18 years old, then licked
Gillum in a severe fight.

On June 3, 1805, William Baylis Randolph was married
(1) to Lydia Lupton, F-1 12,26, by John B. Tilden. Soon
afterward they moved to Lisbon Co., Ohio, with a set of

174

THE BAYLIS FAMILY OF VIRGINIA

masons’ tools and 75 cents. They later settled on what came
to be called “the old Randolph homestead”, for which they
paid $1.25 per acre.

He was much opposed to slavery, and helped to operate
the “Underground Railroad”, to get slaves to Canada. He
taught school both in Virginia and Ohio.

In 1 829, his wife, Lydia Lupton (Randolph), died, having-
borne nine children, of whom two died in infancy and four died
between 1834 and 1836, three from typhoid fever.

On April 10, 1831, William Baylis Randolph married (2)
Deborah Carroll, who bore two children. He died in 1863,
and was buried in Woodsdale cemetery in Lisbon, Ohio.

111.3- W(l). Lydia Lupton (Randolph), F-1 12,26,
was born May 25, 1777 and died in 1 829. She was the daugh¬
ter of Jonathan Lupton and Sarah Fawcett (Lupton).

111.3- W(2). Deborah Carroll (Randolph) was the
youngest daughter of Edward Carroll and Elizabeth Murray
(Carroll). Deborah was born in County Antrim, Ireland, on
Sept. 15, 1791 and with her parents came to America in
1 802. The family settled near New Garden in Columbinia
Co., Ohio. She was a Hicksite Quaker, and was criticized for
marrying outside of the Friends Church, but was not dismissed.
She died on June 2, 1 849, from a mysterious disease. She was
buried in Woodsdale Cemetery. Her family were related to
Charles Carroll, who settled in Maryland in 1688 with Lord
Baltimore. His son, Charles Carroll, Jr., signed the Declara¬
tion of Independence, and when he died in 1 833 at the age of
96 he was the last survivor of the signers.

Children of William Baylis, 112, and Elizabeth Turner
(Baylis)

112,1 John William Baylis was known as “Jack” Baylis.
He was born in 1784 and died on November 8, 1826 at his
home on Cedar Creek. He organized a company to fight in
the war of 1812 and had the rank of Captain. On October 24,

BIOGRAPHIES OF THE BAYLIS FAMILY

175

1811 he married Lucy Clayton Williams. They had no chil¬
dren.

On September 30, 1809, he gave a mortgage to Jonathan
Lupton for 469 acres of land adjoining lands of Joseph and
Samuel Fawcett and Thomas Fawcett. His father, William
Baylis, 112, was a witness. On September 29, 1809, he had
bought this land from John S. Ball and wife Nancy.

On November 16, 1822, Isaac Fawcett of Frederick Co.,
Va., gives deed of trust to Richard W. Barton for John W.
Baylis as surety to a note for $72.61, conveying right to 200
acres bequeathed to Isaac Fawcett by John Fawcett, deceased.

According to a deed of trust on September 6, 1821, to
Phillip Williams, John W. Baylis lived in Shenandoah Co., Va.,
and had a distillery. He was a member of the Masonic Fra¬
ternity, who attended his funeral and interment at New Mar¬
ket, Va.

112.1- W Lucy Clayton Williams (Baylis) (Hill) re¬

My Dear Sister

I received your truly Wellcome letter about two months ago and I do
assure you we were never more delighted, it had been so long since we heard
a word from you that I reallv began to fear you were dead, your letter was
so satisfactory' too, I could almost fancv I had had a conversation with vou,
how gratifying it is, to learn that your children are so promising, and that
you have a good school so near vou, what a house full you have. O how' I
wish I could see them, and mv sweet little Jane [jane Fawcett (Swanev),
112,47]. I am so pleased vou called her after me, what lovely hair she has.
I know she must be pretty' and a dear little darline. Oh mv dear Ann hoyv
you must have suffered yvith the rheumatism. I sincerely wish it yvere pos¬
sible for you to spend the summer with us, I think our sulphur yvater yvould
make a perfect cure of you it is excellent for that complaint. Our neyv
brother, George Leyvis, 112,8-H(2), keeps a boarding house at the sulphur
springs. Eliza (Elizabeth Martha Baylis (McLean) (Leyvis), 112,8] is
expecting every' day to be confined. (Their daughter, Ellen Leyvis, 112,82,
yvas born on July 23, 1834). Maria [Maria Turner Baylis (Leyvis) (Tutt),
1 12,7] lives yvith her, poor Maria is in very bad health, she has been subject
to the asthma for the last tyvo years, she takes so little care of herself that it
gets worse every' day, sometimes she is compelled to sleep in her chair nearly
all night and has a very bad cough with it, her little boy (William Lewis,
112,72, b. 1/7/1827) she sends to school in Morganfield and teaches her
daughter (Janette Gibson Lewis, 112,71) herself, they are fine promising
children. I received a letter from Susan (Susan Emily Baylis (Oakley),
112,6) about six weeks ago, she was on the eve of starting to England, and
I suppose is now in London, little Charlotte (Charlotte Oakley, 112,61) yvas
in very delicate health and had been for eighteen months, her Physician

thought a voyage at sea and change of climate would restore her constitution,
and those who had the management of her fortune, made it necessary for
her to take her children to England. She expects to return in twelve months,
(actually she died on August 26, 1835) and then she will visit us again, and*
then my Dear Ann (if I don’t go before) I will certainly visit you if possible,
indeed I should have done so long since if I had had the means of going.
If my circumstances would allow it, I shall have a fine opportunity this fall.
There are two Ladies and their Father at the springs from the Eastern Shore,
low down in old Virginia, travelling for their health; they will remain here
during the summer, and would go the greater part of the way with me, if
I could go & (O, how I wish I could) in the fall, you need not be surprised
lo see me, but don’t look, for fear I am disappointed. You ask me if Papa
(William Baylis, 112) is benefitted by the late pension lay? Very little yet,
he has received only $80 in addition to his former pension, he is however
urging his claims for justice & I am in great hopes he will get it this fall,
if he does, and Mama [Elizabeth Turner (Baylis), 112-W] gets the bal-
lance of her money, they will be made comfortable for the ballance of their
lives. Mama has received $600 of her money, the half of which Papa
made use of, the other half she has at interest, until she receives the remain¬
ing $400 when she intends to purchase a home of her own & I do hope she
has every comfort in her old a8:e that is possible for her to have. Papa
received a letter from Llncle Andrew Turner (T-1 12,324) a short time
since, he is about prosecuting a revolutionary claim of grandpapa (Hezekiah
Turner, T-1 12,32, ) & wished Mama’s and Papa’s concurrence, they gave

him a power of attorney to act for them, he says that he is in possession of
such proof that he cannot fail to succeed & it will be something very hand¬
some. I sincerely wish he may. He gave us very little Information about
our relatives. Henry Ashbv (possibly a brother of john Ashby, T-1 12,37-H)
is dead, he who Aunt Chunn [possibly either Deborah Turner (Chunn),
T-1 12,34, or Martha Turner (Chunn), T-1 12,35] left the most of her
fortune to. Sally Wiatt (possibly a sister of John Wiatt, T-1 12,323-H)
was in a low state of health & not expected to live, with a liver complaint,
the rest were generally well. I received a letter from Lucy [Lucy Chilton
Baylis (Buck), 112. 5] a few days ago, thev were all well and doing well,
tho the parish they live In was getting very sickly, a new fever prevails there,
that is very fatal, they call it congestive fever, one of their boarders died
with it a day or two before she wrote, she Is very anxious to get a letter from
you, if you write direct your letter to Pecan Grove, Parish of Carrol, Louisi¬
ana. Mama’s health has been delicate this summer, she was confined to her
bed for two or three weeks after I received your letter, was the reason I did
not answer it sooner. She is now quite well and wishes you to write to her
every month & says you must let Henrietta [Henrietta Turner Fawcett
(Marshall), 112,41] and John Will (John William Fawcett, 112,42) write
to her. Papa is as well as usual tho' very infirm. Papa, Mama, Eliza and
Maria join me in love to you, Mr. Fawcett and the children, and give our

love to Cousin Baylis (William Baylis Randolph, 111,3) when you see him,
S: to his wife and children, tell him he is not forgotten by us and never will
be, I hope to see him again before many years. Tell Mr. Fawcett I would
be very much pleased to receive a letter from him and Henrietta must write
to Frances [Frances E. Dulaney (Steele) 112,31] after she has written to
her grandmama. Some one of vou write everv month or two & we will do
the same. Kiss all the children for me and mav God bless you my dear sister.
Ever your sister Jane.

In future direct your letters to the Sulphur Springs. Millv (?) had
another son about two w^eeks ago, she has three sons and one daughter.

The following letter from Elizabeth Martha Baylis (Mc¬

“Dearest Sister

It seems as if my letters to you are doomed to be the messengers of dis¬
tress and sorrow. Oh ! my sister, another of my family has been snatched
away from us. Our poor Susan [Susan Emilv Bavlis (Oaklev), 112,6] is
gone to that bourne whither we must all follow, God onlv knows how soon.
She expired on the twenty-sixth of last august after a short illness of tvphoid
fever, her last letter was from the Isle of Wight, where, after her business
entirely to her satisfaction and have it all in her own power at last, she was
waiting for the first vessel to sail to be once more united to her familv. We
did not hear from her for several months but attributed it to her being on
the way as she did not intend to write again. We were therefore in hourly
expectation of her arrival when the sad intelligence of her death reached us,
the shock was indeed too much for us, and I feared for a time that our dear
mother [Elizabeth Turner (Baylis), 112-W] could not survive it. Poor
Susan had not a relation near her except her poor little children and a cousin
of theirs, a Mr. Dunnicliff a most excellent man, who had been a kind and
unw'earied friend to her from the time of her arrival in England. He lived
in the Isle of Wight and from the time that she was taken ill devoted his
whole time to her, having the very best medical aid with every attention and
comfort it was possible to have, never leaving himself day or night, but Alas!

what avails human aid when God has decreed it otherwise. The poor chil¬
dren are compelled to remain in England until they are of age. They have
a very large fortune as it is now all settled, much more than they at first
expected, several of the legates who had annuities or only life estates have
died and these annuities, some of them very large, have reverted to the prin¬
cipal heirs of whom only four are now left, Charlotte (Oakley, 1 12,61) and
Louise (Oakley, 112,^62) being two of them. Their estate is all real and
vested in the hands of the Lord Chancellor who is necessarily their guardian.
The children are placed under the care of Mrs. Mould, their father’s eldest
sister, who having but one child. Intends to bring them up as her own.
Charlotte’s health is verv delicate and the physicians say that without the
strictest regard and attention she may not live to be grown. Her guardian
and friends from this circumstance are entirely opposed to her leaving Eng¬
land for this climate which they think would soon prove fatal to her. It is
a horrid country this, my dear sister and I am glad to say that we are going
soon to leave it. None of us ever experiences any, to say good health. Our

family, with the exception of Ma and Mr. Lewis, had a severe spell of sick¬

ness last fall. Maria [Maria Turner Bavlis (Lewis) (Tutt), 112,7] and
mvself had both like to have died. Maria has not vet recovered, I am well
now but feel my constitution very much impaired. Papa (William Baylls,
112) has just recovered from a long and tedious spell, the first he has had
for a long time. This country has become so sickly that in the summer and
fall months, members of families are afraid to leave home, for they do not
know whathow' thev mav be attacked. Mr. Lewis [112,8-H(2)] went last
fall to Missouri and was so delighted with the southwest part of the state
that he purchased a farm, or rather a tract of land, and has been gone all
'vinter preparing and building for us to move out this spring. He says
it is the prettiest country and finest land he has ever seen, and he ought
to be a judge as he has been over the greatest part of the west and south as

a surveyor. The lands there are now in market and can be got for the gov¬

ernment prices. It is a great opening for the enterprising and hundreds are
already taking advantage of it. How delighted, my dear sister, would we all
be if you could only persuade Mr. Eawcett (John Eawcett, 112,4-H) to
come with us. Eor a comparatively small sum he could purchase fine land
enough for all his children, and what few of us are left could then be all
together. How delightful it would be to bring up our children in the same
neighborhood and have a little society of our own. Papa tried to persuade
brother Charles (Charles Buck, 112,5-H) and sister Lucy (Lucy Chilton Bay-
lis (Buck), 112,5) to go there, but they have unfortunately a horrid idea of
bringing up their children to honest labor, and prefer living in Versailles
(Kentucky) and depending on their relations for the sake of being in
fashionable society, to a comfortable independence, because the latter has to
be attained by the sweat of the brow. It is such a pity too as they have five
healthy and smart boys. Papa intends purchasing a small farm near us to
secure a home for Mama and Erances [Erances E. Dulaney (Steele), 112,31]

180

THE BAYLIS FAMILY OF VIRGINIA

in case of his death. I think it will be better as it will employ his mind.
Since they broke up housekeeping he has been more inclined to dissipate.
I am afraid he wdll never quit it entirely. Only his having a place of his
own w'hich will take up his time may, and Mama has strong hopes that it
will produce a change. Mama and Maria got ready to visit you last spring
but w^hen it came to the test papa persuaded ma to give it out untill fall.
Mr. Lewis was going up to Kenhawa on business, and Maria started with him.
He was to leave her at Uncle Chilton’s (?) to go on with one of the boys,
as his business compelled him to return home as soon as possible. After she
got there she found that the boys could none of them go with her until! they
laid their crops by. The idea of remaining there all summer in the bad

health she was in so completelv gave her the hysterics, that when Mr. Lewis

started back, she turned round and came with him, onlv staving a few davs
at Uncle Wyatts ( ? ) and Uncle Chilton’s who had all latelv moved out
there. The fall proved so sickly that all thought of going there was aban¬
doned, but our dear mother is still most anxious to go to vou, and I have

been persuading her and Maria to let the rest of us go on to Missouri, and

for her and Ma to go and spend the summer with you, and Mr. Fawcett
come out with them in the fall and see our fine country. xAnd if he cannot
come, Mr. Lewis could go for them. They are both very anxious to do so,
but papa opposes it and says it wTl take too much money. He does not
reflect how much he sometimes throws aw\ay wuthout anv pleasure to himself
or profit to others. Mama says you must write oftener and make the chil¬
dren write to her. Tell Henrietta [Henrietta Turner Fawcett (Marshall),
112,41 I am most anxious to see a letter from her. It w'ould be verv im¬
proving to them both for her and Fannv [Frances F. Dulaney (Steele),
1 12,31] to open a correspondence. Maria begs that you will not think hard
of her not writing, but her nerves have so long been affected that she can
hardl y ever w’rite at all and never more than a few lines at a time. She savs if
she can get Mama off that nothing shall prevent her from going to see you. I
shall write to you again before we move and tell you our future plans, and
where to direct your letters. Mama says you must write more about your dear
children. Our love to Mr. Fawcett and tell him I think he and my old man
W'ill suit very W'ell in point of industry, and I hope one day to see him in
Missouri. All join in love to you. Kiss all the children for me. God
bless you dearest sister.

“Dear Cousin Baylis

I received a letter from my sister Fdiza Lewh [Elizabeth Martha Baylis
(McLean) (Lewis), 1 12,8] a few days after you left here, with the sorrowful
intelligence of my dear sister Susan Oakley’s death (Susan Emily Baylis
(Oakley), 112,6].

She departed this life on the 26th August after a short illness of typhus
fever; she had arranged her business in England entirely to her satisfaction,
and was in the Isle of Wight waiting for the first vessel to sail to bring her
back to her native land; when the fell destroyer laid his icy hand upon her.
She was at the house of a cousin, who had been an unwearied friend of hers
from the time of her arrival in England, and who spared nothing in getting
all the best assistance medicine could give; and watched by her bedside con¬
tinually himself, but all in vain, her all-wise Creator had decreed it other¬
wise, and what could the hand of man do? Her children were placed under
the care of their father’s oldest sister Mrs. Mould,, who has but one child,
and intends bringing them up as her own; they have a very large fortune,
much larger than Susan expected; it is all real estate, and vested in the hands
of the Lord Chancellor, who is the children’s guardian; their aunt that has
the care of them resides in London.

Eliza writes that her husband has been to Missouri and has purchased a
tract of land in the southwest part of the state, and they are going to move
there this spring. My father (William Baylis, 112) will go with them;
my mother wishes to come here and spend the summer, but my father is op¬
posed to it; she would have been here last summer but for him. She and Maria
fM aria Turner Baylis (Lewis) (Tutt), 112,7] got ready to come, my father
opposed my mother’s coming, and she gave it out; Maria came on with Eliza’s
husband, Henry George Lewis, who had business on the Kenhaway and was
obliged to return immediately, she calculated on getting someone of our
numerous relations that live there to come on here with her, but it was not
convenient for any of them to come, so she turned round and went back after
paying a short visit at Uncle Wiatt’s and at Uncle Chilton’s, who had all
lately moved out on the Ky. Maria’s health is still bad, I believe she expects

182

THE BAYLIS FAMILY OF VIRGINIA

to go to Missouri with the rest of them. I wish you would wTite to my
father immediately, and try the force of your language to dissuade him from
going, I think it a very wild notion, and I am inspired with a belief that my
mother is not very willing to it. Eliza rather wishes her to come here first;
I am afraid that my father will get the balance of my mother’s legacy and
spend it. I have written to them inviting my parents to come and spend the
remnant of their days with us, I think if you would unite with me, we
could possibly divert mv father’s attention from Missouri. He is as much
carried away wuth it, as he was with going to Kentucky sixteen years ago.
And I think they will all be as tired of it in that many months as they are
now of Ky.

I have been confined to mv room about a week, w'as taken with chills and
a violent pain in my back, was confined to bed several days, but have gotten
better without the aid of a physician. I am still ver}' weak and feel consider¬
able of the fever at times, tho I am in hopes the worst is over, as I am now
able to go downstairs and attend to business a little. Branson (112,44) has
got well of his poison — the rest of the family are all well, with the exception
of colds and some sore eyes among the children, the youngest is the worst.
My husband having business at Lisbon I took the opportunity of writing to
you thinking you w’ould get a letter sooner by being left in the hands of a
acquaintance than in the postoffice. I had thought something abput writing
by the mail to you but this is an unexpected opportunity. I hope dear
cousin, you wfill attend to my particular request in writing to father as soon
as possible, if they should go to - - - West Country, I should never expect
to see any of them again. Eliza gives a vivid description of the good quality
and cheapness of the land, and invites us to go arid settle there and get land
for our children; I have thanked her for her kindness, but at the same time
let her know that Ohio w'as a country good enough for me. xAnd I have
not the least wish to try the wilderness again. I am very anxious to see you,
and if I can posslblv get anyway of going, I will try to go as soon as the
roads dry up. I wrote a short account of your misfortunes to our friends.
I sent a letter to the office last week, Eliza’s letter arrived here in twelve
days from the time it was mailed. She Intended writing again in a short
time to let me know wffien they would move etc.

I remain your sincerely affectionate friend and cousin.

1817, he married Ann Blackburn Baylis, and on June 5, 1817,
he was dismissed from the Quaker Church “because he accom¬

Vicksburg March 12, 54

“My beloved Henrietta

Your truly welcome letter of the 13th of Feb’y reached me yesterday,
almost a month on the way. It was truly to me a letter of deep interest &
I can’t tell which feeling predominated, pleasure or pain. The sweet and
interesting picture you drew of your Home, yourself and dear little children
went thrilling to my heart, and sent a stream of tears to my eyes as a relief
to the mingled feelings which thy dear letter produced. Oh my dear child
what a sad, sad feeling it is to me to think of you being a victim to that
destroying complaint (consumption) & so much devolving upon you too as
a wife and mother. I am afraid your duties are too much for your frail
constitution. Can’t you abridge them? I fear too that the climate you
speak of going to will prove too cold for one so delicate as you are. Besides
there are so many privations in going to a new Country that it will conspire
with the cold climate, to shorten your days. I had hoped that you & your
husband’s efforts were so blessed that you had made yourself a good & com¬
fortable Home in your native country. Why is it that you have to go so far
to make a living & a Home? I have had sad experience too for the last 13
years in wandering about amid strangers & in a strange country in pursuit of
a better Home, but alas I have never found it. Our best & most comfortable
home was in my dear native Virginia. Then whilst we were prospering in
business, my Husband was over persuaded to quit a sure prospect for every
comfort in life & wander to Kentucky to do better, & soon after we got the
Goal of a better land, my husband made as he thought, the desired purchase
of land that was to insure every comfort in life. But alas how the scale

184

THE BAYLIS FAMILY OF VIRGINIA

turned & misfortunes one after another deprived us of our sweet Home.
And with barely enough to bring us here, we descended the Father of Waters
to Warrenton, where we remained with our Sons, John William (Buck,
1 12,51) & Charles (Buck, 1 12,53) who had preceded us several years, & had
accumulated enough to buv a pretty cottage Home for us all. And where
we lived so happy untill John got married. Then the scene changed again,
& again my Soul was dark, as Byron said once in a sw^eet effusion of his.
And our little band had to separate, since then we have never all gotten
together except for a few weeks at a time. John William has been very
successful here & has accumulated some valuable property & we have been
making our home with him for the two last years. And none but those who
have an Independent disposition and a love for domestic life can tell w'hat
I have felt, to be deprived of everv liberty and pleasure of keeping House.
I have no privileges except in my room, which I feel thankful is very com¬
fortable & overlooks the placid Mississippi. Our sons are all with us now’
but Horace (112,54). Richard (112,56) is going to Princeton the first of
May & will see Nellie Lewis (112,82) to Marietta. Her aunt ( ? ) has
written for her to go home next week, but I think it best she should have
a protector as she is verv young. She is a lovely young creature & truly amiable,
but as yet thoughtless in some things. Louise (McLean, 112,81) is different
in every way, being raised entirely different from Nellie. She is a girl of
strong mind & verv strong prejudices & temper. I do hope that ere two more
vears roll round that Horace may succeed In making a Home in Woodville
for us, as it is his wish to do. He says now that he never will marry untill
he can see his Father and Mother in a comfortable home of their own once
again. Your L^ncle (Charles Buck, 112,5-H) never had much energy &
since his misfortunes he has given up all efforts to a support & has grown
somewhat misanthropic, which he Inherits from the Buck family, & In
several instances has proven so fatal to them, unfitting them for any place
but the Insane asylum. Your L^ncle though don’t get beyond reason, but
refuses the enjovment of social life, shutting himself from all society but
the home circle. Mv dear niece, you give me reason to hope again to see
you, but onlv a morning call. Why, it will be worse than a dream, just to
meet & see one another Face to Face, only for a few brief moments, & feel
the pang of parting forever. This will be sorrow so mingled, that it will leave
the heart pain months after. But 1 feel so anxious to see you & your family,
the darling Child of my dear Sister. [Ann Blackburn Baylls (Fawcett),
1 12,4]. Oh how’ have I wished to see you my Henrietta, that I would even
see vou for a few hours & sav Farewell forever, than never to see vou.
You must not fail to write to me the Boat you will come down on, & the
time as near as you can tell that you will land here. I wish to know’ the time
as near as I can, so as to go dow’n to the Boat as soon as It lands, night or day.
I was so much gratifyed to read dear Jane’s [Jane Fawcett (Swaney) 1 12,47]
beautifully and feelingly w’ritten letter to you. Give her an Aunt’s sincere
love when you w’rite to her again. If it was not such a task for me to write

185

now I would write to her, but as you now anticipate living near each other
in that far off land, my letters to you can do for each of you, if such scrawls
as I write can afford you any pleasure. I have to write with two pair of
specks on, which is very tiring to the Eyes. If my letters were like yours,
or I could dictate & write letters as you do, I should be always scribbling.
Your dear edifying letters are invaluable jewels to me & I read and reread
them with the truest satisfaction. I have told you all that concerns my
Family and the business of each of my sons, therefore will say nothing more
of them except to write you year by year the changes as they may come. Try
and find time to answer this as soon as you can after receiving it, as our
letters are always so long on their peregrination. Always tell me when you
hear of your father (John Fawcett, 112,4-H) and your Sisters and Brothers.
Do you know anything of Mr. Printz’s ( ? ) Family, they live near Louray
(Luray, Va..^) His son came here 7 years ago and lived with us until he
died, which sad event took place about nine months since. His uncle Mr.
Grayson, and his Brother came down about a month since & settled up his
business, & we have heard nothing from them since they left. Nellie (Nellie
Lewis, 1 12,82) joins me in love to you. All are out but her and I, or they
would join us in much love and good wishes. Dear Henrietta, before I close
this scrawl let me admonish you to take good care of your health, both men¬
tally and bodily. By taking care of your health you may live to a good old
age, which is but a dream at best. When I take a retrospect of the past as
far back as memory serves me, I feel the force of what I say. It is truly but
a dream, and mine has been a chequered dream of life indeed, a vapour full
of woes. I could not understand the name of your babe as it was Imperfectly
written. Tell me who, or how you got the name, write it in plainer letters.

died from typhus on August 26, 1835, on the Isle of Wight in
England. She married William Oakley. She was just plan¬
ning to return to America when she died. Their two children
were placed in the care of Mrs. Mould, a sister of William
Oakley, in London. They were reported to be very wealthy.

1 12,6“H William Oakley died before 1 834, and his wife,
Susan Emily Baylis (Oakley) went to England to settle the
estate.

After his death she married (2) John Ashby Tutt. In 1835
she was living with her mother Elizabeth Turner (Baylis). and
planned to come to Ohio with her and her sister Elizabeth
[Elizabeth Martha Baylis (McLean) (Lewis)]. She moved
to Missouri in 1836 and to California in 1852.

1 12.7- H (2) John Ashby Tutt was the son of Col. John
Tutt and Elizabeth Ashby (Tutt).

112,8 Elizabeth Martha Baylis (McLean) (Lewis) was
the youngest child of William Baylis, 112, and Elizabeth
Turner (Baylis.) She married (1) John McLean, and after
his death married (2) George Lewis. One child was born
from each marriage.

According to the letter written by her sister, Ann Blackburn
Baylis (Fawcett), 112,4, Eliza and her husband purchased in
1836 a tract of land in southwestern Missouri, where they pre-
sumablv moved in 1836.

1 12.8- H(2) George Lewis was a nephew of George Wash¬
ington. In the last will and testament of George Washington,
dated February 9, 1799, he bequeathed a sword to each of five
nephews, including George Lewis. He added this injunction
to each nephew “not to take them from their scabbards with
intention of shedding blood, except in self defense or in defense
of their country, and in the latter case to keep them unsheathed
and die with them in their hands rather than give up the same.”
Some of these swords were worn by George Washington in
engagements with the enemies of his country. The five
nephews to whom swords were bequeathed were: William
Augustine Washington, George Lewis, George Steptoe Wash¬
ington, Bushrod Washington, and Samuel Washington. George
Lewis was a Captain in the Revolution and was an original
member of the Society of the Cincinnati.

was a soldier in the war of 1812. His sympathy with the
South during the Civil War is shown by the design he painted
(p. 188).

Va. On September 20, 1811,
she married John Poland.
They had only one child.

They lived near Front

The following record is of
interest.

“At a court held for Frederick Co. (\ha.) the fifth day of July,
1824; Upon the motion of Emily C. Poland she is appointed
Guardian for Emily S. Poland, sole orphan of John Poland, de¬

Mason Anderson b y Rev.

A story related by Annie

Opequon, Va. It is recorded that, “She wore shoes with silver
buckles that were kept brightly shined by the slaves.” She
married George Newman and they had two children.

Children of Aquilla Dyson and Lucy Chilton Baylis
(Dyson), 1 14.

114.1 Elijah Dyson. Sometime after the War of 1812,
Elijah Dyson moved from Maryland to Ohio, before his par¬
ents moved there. He settled on a farm near Ava in Guern¬

Guernsey Co. and was the last officer to use the whipping post
there. We do not know the name of his wife. He had two
daughters, who did not marry.

114.2 John Baylis Dyson was born and raised in Mary¬
land. He hrst moved to Guernsey Co., Ohio, and later to
another part of Ohio. On September 23, 1810, he was mar¬

“surety” was Elizabeth T. Davis. They had eight children.

1 14.3 Mary Dyson ( Kackley) was born in Maryland and

father and one of the children died of typhoid fever. They
then returned to the Dyson home near Ava, Ohio.

(In the Frederick Co., Va., marriage bonds is recorded the
marriage of Elias Kackley and Jane B. Dyson on February 16,
1809. It is at least possible that these names were incorrect,
and that this record refers to the above persons.)

Dear Uncle John

After waiting and wondering for a long time what could be the reason
you did not write to some of us, I finally concluded that I would write and
enquire, but I was prevented by visitors, and several circumstances from so
doing until I received your letter a few days since, which I assure you gave
me a great deal of satisfaction and pleasure, as you may know by my answering
it Immediately. Since you left us a good many circumstances have occurred,
which have in some measure changed the relationship in which we stood one
toward another when you were with us. In a word. Mother [Jane Wyatt
Baylis (Dulaney), 112,3] and Cousin John ( ? ) took a trip to St. Louis
last fall, and while there thev concluded to take each other for better for
worse, and so they called in a preacher and got married. Cousin John ( ^ )
lost his election by three votes. Cousin Will ( ? ) more than doubled his
opponent. The family have all been well since you left us except Mother,
whose health was very bad the latter part of the summer and fall, though it
is now much improved. I have just returned from Cooper (Co.), in the
neighborhood of Bornville, where I spent several weeks very agreeably among
my relations. This winter so far has been the most beautiful weather ever

known by the oldest settlers in this country. Christmas day was so warm
that we sat without fire all day. There was great rejoicing among the
Locofoco’s throughout the State at that time on account of their Polk-ing
their President into the Chair, so contrary to their most sanguine expectations,
where it is to be hoped he will preside w'ith the dignity of a defeated
Governor. It is too bad to think that a talented Statesman like Henrv Clav
should be so badly beaten by a man who could not be elected Governor of
his own State, and that state Tennessee, about on a par with North Carolina.
Well, they will have their President this term, and I hope if Mr. Clav is not
the next president, his equal may be. Cousin John ( ? ) did not vote at
all. He is at this time in Cooper Co., though he will return in a few' davs.
Will Lewis (112,72) has just returned from a trip to Lafavette Countv.
It is hard telling which he is most pleased with, the Lands or the Ladies.
He says I must give you his love and tell him that the knife vou gave him
was stolen from him, w'hich he very much regrets. Since times have got so
hard that folks do nothing but get married, I have made a selection for vou
my dear L ncle, and I want you to come out and see her. She is not a bit
too young for you, an old maid, intelligent and good looking. She will make
a first rate stepmother to bring up children in the wav thev should go, and
altogether I think she will suit you exactly. I don’t know but ^’ou saw her.
She is a sister of cousin or rather L^ncle John’s [John Ashbv Tutt, 112,7-H
(2)], Cousin Martha Tutt. I have just selected her for vou because I
thought vou would like to be in the fashion with the rest of the old folks.
Do you recollect a young lady you saw at Miss Squire’s wedding, a verv fine
looking girl. Miss Ann Best. Well, she has taken unto herself a Lord and
master this winter. It is thought by her friends that she has married verv
well. All of your acquaintances. Cousin How’ell Lewis ( ) and Capt. Dana

in particular, make a great many inquiries about vou w'henever thev see us.
I do wish, Circle John that it would suit you as well to come to Missouri as
to go to Iowa. I would like so much for some of our near relatives to be near
us. Though your children I suppose would hardly be satisfied to remove
from a free to a slave State. It would suit them as little as it would suit us
to go to a Free State. However, as we cannot all think alike about which is
the best country, I am in hopes you will move to Iowa in the Spring, and
then we can see and hear from you sometimes, I hope. All the Loafers in
this county are violently affected with the Oregon fever, which I think will
carry off a few of them in the Spring, which will be quite an improvement
to our little town. Cousin John has been very busy all winter fixing up the
farm and preparing to build an addition to the house. He intends building
of logs, and plastering and weather boarding. So I hope the next visit vou
pay us we can accommodate you more comfortably than when you were here
before. The children have all grown so much you would hardlv know them.
George ( r ) is the sweetest little fellow' I ever saw, he can go wherever he
chooses and he will talk and sing by the hour. Ellen Lewis (112,82) very
often talks about and wonders if you will ever come to see us again.

Mother sends a great deal of love to you and all the family, and says
you had better think again and come to Missouri. She says she would write,
but that I can tell you all the news, and you know she is not particularly fond
of writing when she can get over it. And now she thinks she has so much
to do that she has not time to write to anvbodv unless it is absolutelv neces-
sary. I hope Uncle John that you will write to me whenever you can. I
shall always be glad to hear from you, and when anything occurs in this back-
woods country of ours that I think will interest you, it will be a great pleasure
to me to communicate it. And I hope you will excuse the imperfect manner
in which it is done. When I write to a friend or relation, I usually express
my ideas as they happen to come into my head, and upon reading a letter
over I am often ashamed to send it, after having written it. If you are fond
of long letters (as I am) I think you cannot camplain of this. Times and
people about here have not altered much since you left us. I believe there
is not quite such an outcry about hard times as there was a few months back.
I don’t know whether they are any better, or the People have gotten used to
them, I rather think the latter. I will now bring my letter to a close.
Remember me kindly and affectionately to all my cousins. And may the
great giver of all good forever bless you in all your undertakings is the
sincere prayer of your affectionate niece

My dear Uncle John

Mother received a letter from vou vesterdav, the first that we hav^e heard
of you for a long time. And I do assure you I feel very much mortified that
you should think for a moment that I would slight or neglect you intention¬
ally. When I sent you the newspaper I was sick with the chills and unable
to write. As soon as I recovered we moved from this county to Bates, where
I intended writing as soon as we settled and I could write satisfactorily. We
finally determined to return to Henry (Co.), and something or other (not
forgetfulness) has continually occurred to prevent my writing to you sooner.
However, if you will forgive me this time, nothing but sickness shall prevent
my being a better correspondent in future. Though now I am more con-

stantly employed than I used to be, as I have a fine little bov (Robert Fleming
Steele, 112,311), iust two months old, to attend to and he requires a great
deal of my time. We call him Robert Fleming, Robert after mv husband’s
favorite brother, who died the summer you were here, and Fleming after my
Father. I wish you could see him, he is a boy worth bragging on. Mother’s
health has not been good since you saw her, she has suffered a great deal with
the asthma and has had several violent attacks of Pleurisy. Old Mrs. Lewis
and Mrs. Lovell, Lbicle George’s [112,8-H(2)] mother and sister, spent the
summer with us this year. They left us the first of October. Mrs. Lovell
took Ellen (1 12,82) and Harold ( ? ) home with her to spend several vears.
She 1 ives in Marietta, Ohio, and wishes to educate the children. Mother
only has George with her now. He is a fine sprightlv child as I ever saw.
Cousin Martha Tutt is married (You would not sit to her as I wanted you)
to an old widower with four children, all of them grown. He is a clever
cld Fellow I think and has plenty of the good things of this world, such as
a fine house, plenty of money etc. \^irginia (?) is still living though her
health is far from good. Do you recollect Mrs. Brummit, the voung lady
that you saw married r Well she is dead, she died at her Father’s verv sud¬
denly. But few changes have taken place among your acquaintances since
you were here. Cousin John ( ? ) has gone to Cooper Countv to try and
rent a place there. He is anxious to move there, as he has become verv
much dissatisfied ^vith this part of the countrv. I received letters from Aunt
Susan’s [Susan Emily Baylis (Oakley), 112,6] daughters lately. They are
living in London with their Aunts, both single. I never expect to see them
again. I believe I have given you all the news I can think of. I hope you
tvill write to me soon. And often remember me affectionatelv to mv cousins,
and tell them I should be pleased to hear from anv of them. Have vou
declined moving to the west, or do you still think you will slight that old
Ladies’ advice about your “beautiful Farm”? I hope so, for I think if you
go to Iowa, I shall stand a better chance of seeing you once more. William
wishes to say a few words for himself, so I will take leave of vou for the

“My Dear Uncle;

It afforded me no small degree of pleasure to hear from vou bv the letter
Cousin Maria (112,7) received from you vesterdav, and I hope we shall be
favored very often with letters from you. I can see no reason at all whv a
regular and faithful correspondence cannot be begun and continued between

course tvill afford much pleasure. And no trouble shall be spared by myself
to contribute that portion of it which duty mav require. It is a source of
gratification to me to learn and know that you feel so deep an interest in our
welfare, as expressed in your affectionate letter to Cousin Marla. Such kind
regard from friends and kindred illuminates and renders cheerful the other-

wise dark and rough path of life. I hope we shall merit your approbation
and a continuance of your good wishes. Though we are separated by many
long miles, yet we can converse by letter, and acquaint one another with the
prominent items of news, which ought and doubtless will be gratifying to
all concerned.

As Fanny has given you about all the news of this dull neighborhood, I
have but little to communicate that will interest you, unless it be a brief
statement of our intentions as to future operations.

We have partly contracted to purchase the farm upon which we all lived
when you were here. I think it is more than probable that I shall buy and
settle here. I shall know certainly in the course of a few weeks. I shall
attempt, if I purchase, to carry on the farm and attend to other business at
the same time, which I can do by procuring the services of a steady man to
take charge of the farm, while I shall be otherwise emploved myself.

Since you were here, I have obtained license to practice law, which busi¬
ness necessarily demands much of my attention from home. Mr. John Tutt
[John Ashby Tutt, 112,7-H(2)], will more than probably move from this
into Cooper County, near the neighborhood of his father. He wishes to
employ himself in some other business than that of farming, but in what
business he will engage I am unable to state at present.

William Lewis, Cousin Maria’s son, (112,72) has grown up to manhood
and is a very interesting young man. He will continue to live with his
mother, I presume.

I hope ere long we shall have the pleasure of seeing you once more in
our State. We would be very happy to see you at our domicile with any of
your family. Write us a long letter soon and believe to be yours

1 12,42-W Emeline Grif¬
fith (Fawcett) was born on
October 29, 1 823, and died on
March 3, 1892. She was the
daughter of William Griffith
(1796-1873) and Mary Vo-
taw (or Voteau) (Griffith)
(1 803-1893) and was the
grand-daughter of William
Griffith (1764- ) and

Deborah McMillan (Griffith).
The following story was re¬
lated to Louisa Deborah Faw¬
cett (Hogue) by Smith B.
McMillan in 1908.

Deborah McMillan had
two suitors, William Griffith
and Nathan Hussey, and she
could not decide between
them. Her father said he
would decide for her. The

two young men should mow a big meadow, extending from the
porch and nearly out of sight. Whoever was the best mower
should have Deborah. She watched from the porch and waved
her handkerchief to them and cheered them. Young Hussey
died within two weeks from the effects of that mowing match.
William Griffith, who married Deborah, was never well again
and died a young man, leaving Deborah with four children and
one prospective.

slavery in 1850 in the western part of Virginia, close to the
present line of West Virginia.

Est. Cousin

I have at length seated myself for the purpose of communicating a few
lines to you. I would have done so long since If I could have said anything
that would interest you. I suppose you are already aware that I have been
in this state sometime, and would like to know how I like the Old Dominion.
On some accounts I like her very well, but for all that I have been here
longer than I like and intend leaving here as soon as I can make my arrange¬
ments so to do. I have been in Shenandoah Co. until two weeks ago today.
Since then I have been travelling, teaching the art of detecting counterfeit
Bank notes. I have done tolerable good business at it, have made one dollar
per day clear of expenses. I met with your Brother. (John Randolph, a
half brother of William Baylis Randolph, 111,3). He lives at a little place

THE BAYLIS FAMILY OF VIRGINIA

called Middlebrook. He is a very fine man and, bv the wav, a very wealthy
man. He told me he commenced at first on 50 cts., and he is said now to
be one of the most wealthy men in Augusta Co. He told me he was going
to give his children a start of $1 5,000 each, and he has five of them. So
vou know that he must have a prettv stout fortune. He is a very hard work¬
ing old man and as full of jokes as he can be. And he says he kills a heap
of old whiskey, and I suppose he does. He thinks you cut him very hard on
the slavery question. He has a great many slaves, but I believe he uses them
very well, but that does not make it right for him to hold them by any means.
I believe the people here generally admit that slavery is an evil, yet they seem
to hold onto it, and seem to grasp it tighter and are unwilling to let it go
when they see there is a chance of some day getting entirely rid of it. I
think the question is getting prettv well agitated now and have an idea that
slavery has received its death blow. It has created a great excitement here.
The papers are full of speeches on the dissolution of the union and Northern
Fanatics. I must close at present. Please excuse all mistakes. Give my
respects to all inquiring friends, and accept a large portion yourself, and
believe me

Your sincere friend

P. S. Your brother told me to tell you he is one of the old stock, out and
out Randolph from head to foot. He says he wuld like very much to have
one of your girls carry his keys for him and make the niggers work, etc. He
is a very stout short chunk and put me very much in mind of John W.
Randolph (111,36). He says when he commenced there he had to kill
everything as he w^nt. He got after a large Panther one day and ran him
up a tree, and then went up after him and killed him with a club. I think
that is equal to some of Crocket’s exploits.

My health is very good at present and I enjoy travelling very much.
I intend going from here to the Natural Bridge. Have not determined what
route to take from there, but shall return to Edinburg, Shenandoah Co., by
the I’st of April, where I shall be very happy to receive a letter from you.

In much haste — Yours

family moved to Rush Co.,
Indiana, and in 1842, John
Darby Downey, his wife and
two children followed them
to Rush Co. There they pur¬
chased a 90 acre farm for
$1200. This became their
permanent home, where seven
more children were born.
Their house had five fire-

called their mother ^^Buddy”, and the whole family had a sense
of humor and a wealth of family jokes and anecdotes.

In 1872 Emily Mary Baylis (Downey) and her youngest
son, Morton Hackleman Downey, 113,19, then nine years old,
traveled to Virginia, where she visited her half-sister, Mary

This is the earliest record of the Downey line in America.
The Downey family were Protestants and presumably from
North Ireland. A subsequent deed reads “John Downing alias
John Downey” and all other records of deeds, wills, etc., in the
County Clerks Office in the Shenandoah County Court House
are in the name of Downey.

John Darby Downey was the son of William Downey and
Deborah Parsons f Downey) of Shenandoah Co,, Va. John
Darby Downey learned the millwright’s trade at the Whissen
mill in Edinburg, Va. It was recorded that he and his two
brothers “could build a mill completely, even to preparing and
mounting the millstones”. He died in Rush Co., Ind. on May
24, 1897.

John Darby Downey was a Justice of the Peace. His first
commission, dated April 17, 1852, was signed by the Governor

of Indiana, Joseph A. Wright, and by the Secretary of State
of Indiana, Charles H. Test. He first took the oath of office
before Pleasant A. Hackleman, Clerk of the Rush Co. Circuit
Court. (This association accounts for the fact that John Darby
Downey named his youngest son Morton Hackleman Downey,
1 13,1 19.) Except in 1856 he was re-elected every four years
until 1 880, thus serving as Justice of the Peace for 28 years.

John Downey, founder of this family in America, had three
sons. Darby Downey, John Downey and William Downey, and
one daughter, Mary James Downey. She was referred to as
“my sister Mary James” in the will of William Downey dated
September 13, 1780, and recorded November 30, 1780, in the
Shenandoah Co. Court. William Downey was a Tory and
remained loyal to King George. John Downey “strayed away.
It was never known what became of him.”

The will of Darby Downey, son of John Downey, was
proven in Shenandoah Co., Va., on November 12, 1832. He
mentions his first wife, Mary Arewinej four sons, John, Wil¬
liam, Darby and Eleazor j and three daughters, Sarah Downey,
who married John Painter on October 29, 1796 5 Mary W.
Downey, who married John Mcllree on April 10, 1798; and

Spring and Pembroke Springs, several miles south of Capon
Springs, on what is now John Marshall Highway (Route 55).
While there he was twice shot and wounded by a spy, and
was taken to Capon Springs, where he was nursed by Dr. Keffer
and the Ward family in their home.

On March 13, 1869, he was married to Amanda Elizabeth
Rudolph, near Yellow Springs, W. Va., by Rev. Peter Miller,
for many years pastor of Hebron Lutheran Church at Inter-
mont, W. Va. They had ten children. The oldest two chil¬
dren (Katherine Moore Davis Baylis, 113,162, and Charles
Edmund Baylis, 113,161) were born in the log house on land
now owned by Howard Brill at Intermont, W. Va. This post
office was formerly known as ^^Mutton Run”, because in the
early days sheep were killed by wolves, and their blood colored
this Run. The remaining children were born two miles north
of Mutton Run, in a house built about 1774. It was built of
hewn logs, with four rooms and three fireplaces. A double

stone chimney with an import¬
ed brick top was added about
1800 by A. Linthicum. The
exterior of the house was
whitewashed.

With his family he lived on
his farm near Yellow Springs,
W. Va., until about 1906,
when he moved to the home
of his son, J. Frank Baylis, in
the large house later known as
“Kleinheim”, and ^ ^ C a p o n

March 2, 1909. He was
buried at Hebron Church

heth Rudolph (Baylis) was the daughter of Joseph Rudolph
and Rebecca Clutter (Rudolph). She was born at Mutton
Run (now Intermont P. O.), W. Va., on June 15, 1844. As
a young girl she lived with her aunt, Elizabeth Rudolph
(Switzer) and her husband, Michael Switzer, and also with
another aunt, Peggy Rudolph ( Salyard) and her husband,
John I. Salyard. She was confirmed at Hebron Lutheran
Church, Intermont, W. Va. on March 29, 1861. She was a
school teacher at Sandy Grove, W. Va., and at Gravel Springs,
Va. She died on June 25, 1892 from tuberculosis.

Joseph Rudolph was the son of George Rudolph and Chris-
tianiah Hotzenpillar (Rudolph). A mimeographed outline
genealogy of the Rudolph Family was prepared in 1938 by
Willetta Baylis (Blum), 1 13,167, a daughter of Sanford Bay¬

The following account of the life of Charles Davis Baylis
was written on August 19, 1898, by Henry C. McDougal, a
prominent lawyer of Kansas City, Missouri. He represented
Elizabeth Loise (Moncravie) (Baylis), widow of Charles
Davis Baylis, in presenting her claims to benefits as a descend¬
ant of the Osage Indian Nation. In 1905, H. D. McDougal
gave an address for the presentation to the Kansas City Public
Library of a portrait of the then newly elected U. S. Senator
William Warner.

and breeding — and he as much as any one I knew, was entitled to call his
family one of the F.F.V.’s (First families of Virginia).

“When first 1 met him in 1860, he was superintendent of a division on
the Turnpike running down along the banks of the beautiful Monongahela
River in Virginia (Now W. Va.) and made his headquarters at Rivesville in
Marion County. On the 27th day of July, 1861, he and I enlisted as privates
in Co. A. 6th Va. (Union) Infantry Volunteers, which, when West Va. be¬
came a state in June 1863, was the 6th West Va. Infantry Volunteers.

Our enlistment was at Fairmont in Marion Co. The Company, com¬
manded by Capt. Jno. H. Showalter, went into camp at Wheeling Island
(Camp Carlyle) near Wheeling, W. Va., and there on the 6th day of Aug.
1861 we were mustered into the service of the United States” for three years
or during the war”. Comrade Baylis was soon made a Sergeant, I remained a
private. We served together in that Co. until honorably discharged and mus¬
tered out on August 18, 1864.”

“Battle at Long Bridge”

“While stationed at the Long Bridge, a mile above Fairmont, on April 29,
1863, in command of about 30 of our Company, scouts brought Information
that a Brigade of Confederate Cavalry, under Command of General Jones,
was moving up the Monongahela River to capture Fairmont, and capture or
destroy this bridge, and make prisoners of all Union soldiers in that vicinity
or destroy them.

“Calling to his aid about a hundred Home Guards, Militiamen and citi¬
zens, with their assistance and his handfull of men, Serg. Baylis determined
to give battle to the enemy. General Jones brought on the attack at sun-up,
but so stubbornly and skillfully did Serg’t Baylis resist the attack that he kept
the entire cmomand at bay till four in the evening.

“At this hour Serg’t Baylis discovered that the enemy had planted a bat¬
tery of Artillery on a hill across the river, and he knew that with this and
the Cavalry Charge, which General Jones was preparing to make, they were
sure to kill, wound or capture his entire command. Up to that hour he had
lost but one man killed and only a few wounded. When he saw that the
destruction of his command was inevitable if they offered further resistance,
Serg’t Baylis promptly ran up the white flag and surrendered.

“As soon as he saw the white flag. General Jones directed his Chief of
Staff to receive the surrendered Federals and march thm down to the Court
House (at Fairmont, only a mile away) as prisoners of War. He then rode
off to the Court House, to which place Serg’t Baylis and his men were
marched. On arriving there Serg’t Baylis entered the presence of his captor
and reported by the usual soldierly salute.

‘When Gen. Jones asked: ‘Who is in Command of the Yankee forces.^’.
Sergeant Baylis answered, ‘I am. Sir.’ ‘What is your rank.^’ inquired the
General. ‘A Sergeant, Sir’ answered Baylis. Then looking him over, re¬
calling the gallant defence Baylis had made, the General slowly and impres¬
sively said, ‘Well, by God, Sir, you ought to be a General.’

“I never knew a truer man, nor a soldier of more courage and daring than
this same Serg’t. Baylis.”

Beaver Creek, Oklahoma Ter., 9:49 PM, Aug. 12, 1898.

H. C. McDougal.

We have no written record regarding the prison in which
Sergeant Baylis and his troops were kept, but it was probably in
the vicinity of Fairmont, W. Va. His imprisonment could not
have lasted much more than a year, since he received his hon¬
orable discharge from the Union Army on August 16, 1864.
It would be interesting to know whether and where the prison¬
ers were released by Union Troops.

In 1 885, Henry C. McDougal had printed and distributed
a “Roll of Co. A. 6th Reg’t, Virginia Infantry Volunteers”,
which included three commissioned officers, sixteen non-com¬
missioned officers (among them Sergeant Charles D. Baylis),
and eighty-one privates, in addition to five who were killed
and four discharged for disability. Eight field and staff of¬
ficers are listed. A copy of this paper and other papers here
referred to are in the possession of Elizabeth Somers ( Baylis),
1 13,181-W(2), of Arkansas City, Kansas.

On August 16, 1864, Sergeant Charles D. Baylis received
an Honorable Discharge “by reason of Expiration of term of
service”. On this discharge is also written, “Paid in full. In¬
cluding $100 Bounty, Aug. 16, 64”, and also “Paid Bounty
$100, act July 28/66. Oct. 31/67.”

On August 10, 1868, an Honorable Discharge Medal was
presented to Charles D. Baylis, then living in Leavenworth

BIOGRAPHIES OF THE BAYLIS FAMILY

Prior to her marriage to Charles Davis Baylis, she had mar¬
ried a Mr. Moncravie, and had the following children.

1. Amy Moncravie, who married Frank Murphy. .

2. John Moncravie, died before 1956.

3. Charles Moncravie, who in 1956 lived in Long Beach,
Cal.

4. Henry Moncravie, who died before 1956.

5. Fred Moncravie, who in 1956 lived in Tulsa, Okla.

These children were raised in the home of her second hus¬
band, Charles Davis Baylis.

Elizabeth Loise (Moncravie) (Baylis) was known to have
one eighth Indian blood. She was a beautiful woman, loved
by all her family and friends.

Data regarding her Indian ancestry are contained in the
briefs filed on behalf of her and her four sisters in support of
claims for rights in the land ceded to the Osage Nation by the
treaty of June 2, 1825, with the United States government.

From the briefs filed on February 12, 1898, we learn that
Elizabeth Loise (Moncravie) (Baylis) had four sisters, whose
married names were Theresa Loise (Fuller), Eliza Loise
(Wheeler), Madeline Loise (Scott) (Stephen), and Louisa
Loise (Atkins). These five were the daughters of Edward
Paul Loise and Mary Jane Barada (Loise).

Edward Paul Loise and his sisters Theresa Loise (Harvey)
and Antoinette Loise were the children of Paul Loise and an
Osage Indian wife. Paul Loise was the son of a Frenchman
and an Osage wife. Paul Loise was an Osage Indian inter¬
preter for about 40 years. He was the interpreter of the
treaty made at Fort Clark, on the right bank of the Missouri
about five miles above Fire Prairie on November 10, 1808, and
was commended by Governor Lewis for his faithful interpre¬
tation. In the treaty of June 2, 1825, between the United

216

THE BAYLIS FAMILY OF VIRGINIA

States and the Osages, a section of land was reserved for
Therese “daughter of Paul Loise”.

On the basis of these and other records, extending over a
considerable period of litigation, Elizabeth Loise (Moncravie)
(Baylis) was recognized as a descendant of the Osage Nation.
She and her descendants were then given rights in certain land
and any oil discovered on that land, now in Oklahoma.

113,19 Sara Katherine Baylis (Lewis) was born near
Winchester on April 10, 1840. On October 17, 1856, she
married William Lewis, and lived in Winchester, Va. They
had nine children. She died before 1910.

and kept well informed on current events.

As a young man he spent some time in Pleasantville, Fair-

Dec. 31, 1854, he wrote from there a letter to his brother, John
W. Baylis, 113,32, who had evidently visited him shortly
before. On Feb. 20, 1855 and again on May 24, 1855, his

On February 20, 1855, his sister Harriet and his brother-

enjoying reasonable health at this time. Hoping and wishing that these few
lines may find you and all the rest of the folks well, and old grandfather
(William Wilson ?). Tell grandfather that I would like to see him very
well, and I would like to see you all, brother Marsh. We were down at
Mother’s [Mary Katherine Wilson (Baylis), 113,3-W] and Aunt Harriett’s

day a week I was down home again. Elly (Margaret Ellen Baylis, 113,6)
was up at our house nine weeks and I went home with her. We went in
the sleigh, and Hatty ( ^ ) came home with us and she is here yet a helping
me to quilt. Pappy (Thomas Blackburn Baylis, 113,3) is a teaching school
down at the Union Church and he has got a very good school too. Mother
talks a great deal about you. They say they have never received but two
letters yet, and they would be glad to hear from you again. Hiram (?) is
here this morning and he is as bad as ever, and says he would like to see you

1 13,36

In 1860 she announced
that she would teach an Eng¬
lish School at Freemont Union
Church for three months, for
which the charge would be
$2.50 per scholar. The paper
for 12 pupils. contained names of subscribers

In her early life a beautiful tribute was paid to her in the
following poem by Mahlon H. Hottel.

“When other friends are round thee,

And other hearts are thine;

When other boys have crowned thee,

More fresh and green than mine;

Then think, oh think, how lonely
This throbbing heart must be.

Which, w’hile it beats, beats only.

Beloved one, for thee.

113,36 Margaret Ellen
Baylis was born on February
25, 1 837. She did not marry,
but had a very busy, active
life. She attended school at
Freemont Union Church un¬
der Rev. J. Summers. She
taught at Clauser’s School and
later at Freemont School. Be¬
tween terms she studied and
spun for her family and
friends.

Yet do not think I doubt thee,

I know thy truth remains;

I w'ould not live without thee
For all the world contains.

Thou art the star, that guides me
Across life’s troubled sea.

Whatever fate betides me.

This heart will turn to thee.”

“Written for Miss Elen Balls”

Mahlon H. Hottel.

BIOGRAPHIES OF THE BAYLIS FAMILY

223

The author of the above poem was probably Mahlon Har¬
vey Hottel, who was born on March 15, 1836; was a Confeder¬
ate Civil War soldier; and died on August 26, 1 861, at Fairfax
Court House from typhoid fever. He was buried in Adam
Eshelman Cemetery, (p. 509, History of the Descendants of
John Hottel, by Rev. W. D. Huddle and Lulu May Huddle
of Westerville, Ohio. Published by Shenandoah Publishing
House, Strasburg, Va., 1930.)

On the back of the paper the following verse was written,
evidently by Ellen Baylis.

“Memory of the dead”

“Thou art gone, though thy name dear
Is still upon our hearts;

Thou wentest forth a brave man like
Thy Country’s fame to rear.”

So it is evident that Mahlon H. Hottel died in the Civil War.

Thoughts of the loss of her sweetheart caused Margaret
Ellen Baylis to copy in her handwriting the following two songs
typical of those times, on January 9, 1865.

“Just before a battle.”

“Just before the battle, mother
I’m thinking most of thee
While upon the field we’re lying
With the enemy in view.

Comrades brave are round me lying
Filled with thoughts of home and God
For well they know that on the morrow
Some will sleep beneath the sod.”

Chorus

“Farewell mother you may never
Press me to your heart again
But Oh you’ll not forget me mother
If I’m numbered with the slain.”

224

THE BAYLIS FAMILY OF VIRGINIA

“How I long to see you mother
And the loving ones at home
But Ah I’ll never leave that banner
Till in honor I can come.

Tell the traitors all around you
That their cruel words we know
In every battle kill our soldiers
By the aid they give the foe.”

III

“Hark I hear the bugle sounding
This the signal for the fight
Now' may God protect us mother
As he ever does the right.

Hear the battle cry of freedom
Now it swells upon the air
But Oh we’ll rally round that standard
Or w'e’ll perish nobly there.”

“Who will care for mother now”

“Why am I so weak and weary
See how' faint my heated breath
All around to me seems darkness
Tell me comrades, is this death?

Ah how w'ell I know your answer
To my fate I’ll meekly bow
If you’ll only tell me true
Who will care for mother now'?”

Chorus

“Soon w'ith angels I’ll be marching
With bright laurels on my brow'

I have for my country fallen
Who will care for mother now'?”

“Who will comfort her in sorrow'?
Who will dry the falling tear?

Gently smooth her wrinkled forehead?
Who will whisper words of cheer?
Even now I think I hear her
Kneeling praying for me now
How can I leave her in anguish?

Who will care for mother now?”

BIOGRAPHIES OF THE BAYLIS FAMILY

225

From “A History of Popular Music in America” by Sig¬
mund Gottfried Spaeth (1948), we learned that the first of
these two songs was written in 1863 by George Frederick Root,
who also wrote “The Battle Cry of Freedom” in 1863, aiid
“Tramp, tramp, tramp, the boys are marching” in 1864. The
song “Who will care for mother now?” was written by Charles
Carroll Sawyer in 1863. These two songs were almost as
popular as the “Battle hymn of the Republic” by Julia Ward
Howe (1862). That the first two were “sung by soldiers of
the North and South alike” is indicated by the fact that Mar¬
garet Ellen Baylis, a Southern sympathizer, copied them in her
notes.

In September, 1884, Ella Baylis went by train from Win¬
chester, Va., to Paola, Kansas, where she visited her sister,
Katherine Sophia Baylis (Mumert), 113,31, and her husband
Zachariah B. Mumert, and their family. She kept a diary on
this trip, which lasted till June, 1886. In her diary, she re¬
corded most of the railroad stations passed (during day and
night). Her notes contain many references to the Mumert
family and their neighbors, together with records of the weather
on most of the days. Incidentally, the farmers in Kansas in
1956 would have been glad to get some of the heavy falls of
rain and snow recorded in 1884-1886!

Shortly after her arrival in Kansas, Ella Baylis became ill
with what was diagnosed as “typhoid malaria”, possibly con¬
tracted from eating places enroute to Kansas. She was in bed
for three weeks, and then regained her strength.

She spent part of the time in Paola, Kansas with her sister,
and a large part of her time with her nephew, “Mart” Mumert
and his wife Ida, who first lived 16 miles N. W. of Paola, and
in November 1885 moved to a farm near Lebo, about 50 miles
west of Paola. She also spent time with her niece, Mary
Mumert (Strader), her husband Cal Strader, and their two
children.

226

THE BAYLIS FAMILY OF VIRGINIA

She mentions a visit to “the Pettys”, who may have been
relatives of Bertrand Ward Petty, 1 13,41 1.

Her account of the celebration of Decoration Day is of
possible interest.

“May 30, 1 885- — ^Morning beautiful. The town is all astir, this is the
National Decorating day. The parade has gone by rail to Osawatomie, will
return at one in the afternoon, the procession will take place here. I expect
to be one of the spectators. The train brought back the 4 bands, 3 wTite and
1 black, all of which play well, also a company of soldiers. Alice (Reeves)
and I went to the cemetery and saw the procession come in the grave yard.
One square is appropriated to the soldiers, the procession formed around this
square. The school children and a company of ladies strew'ed the flow^ers on
the few graves. A prayer w'as olTered, the pieces sung. 2 vollies were fired
and the company returned to the park, where the ceremonies were completed.
The band played, a prayer was offered, then a girl named Bertie Hill recited
beautifully a national piece of poetry. Then a lady, jenny Wolz, came out
on the stand and sang the Star Spangled Banner, with lungs equal to any
organ. She belonged to a traveling concert. Then a gentleman and she
sang a piece, after which Judge Clark, a soldier from Kansas City, addressed
the company, by making a national speech, which w'as very good. The day
was lovely and everything went off nicely.”

As an indication of the current medical “quacks”, she refers
to a visit to a “Mrs. Dolers to see the madstone which she uses
on patients threatened by hydrophobia, with success.” She also
refers to a man who sold a salve or ointment called “Gingari,
the Cypress Queen’s Secret”.

In her note book, Ella Baylis had the addresses of John
Darby Downey, 113,11-H; and Jacob Sydner McCullough,
1 13,1 12-Hj but we do not know whether she visited them on
her return trip to Virginia.

Following the Civil War and its destruction in the Shenan¬
doah Valley, Ellen Baylis lived first with her parents, and then
with her brothers, Marshall and Milton Baylis. Still later
she lived with her nephew, Vennor Baylis, 113,343, and also
with her sister, Mary Ann Baylis (Wisecarver.) She was af¬
fectionately known as “Cousin Ella”.

On February 5, 1902, she wrote a note about a heavy snow¬
fall, over 12 inches, just taking place j and referred to the fun-

BIOGRAPHIES OF THE BAYLIS FAMILY

227

eral that day of Charley Rouse, whose body was brought back
to Winchester by train. This note was preserved by her
nephew, Vennor Baylis, with whom she was probably then
living.

Through the kindness of Vennor and Blanche Baylis, we
received a copy of a diary of Margaret Ellen Baylis, with notes
from 1859 to 1900. These give such a vivid picture of life
in this period, that we have included her whole record in this
book.

“M. Ella Baylis’s Book

A few sketches of my later life I began to note in

the year 1859

I went to School to Rev. J. Summors at Freemont Union Church, so
called then, about two months at the beginning of that year.

When Spring opened, my generous friends of the neighborhood of
Clousers’s Schoolhouse offered me a school.

Though by no means capable of so high a calling, yet with reluctance I
accepted it. Walked two miles night and morning, my home being with
my parents, residing near the big North Mountain. I undertook my little
Chaps, which averaged ten or twelve in number, and done the best I could
untill the close of the term which was three months.

During the latter part of the Summer I had the pleasure of attending a
camp meeting at a place called Mushtown beyond Pughtown.

After camp meeting I spun for Mrs. Bean Fry a few weeks.

After visiting a little while, I again returned to school at the same place
and the same teacher which I attended a little over two months, this term in
the beginning of 1860. In April I offered my self as a teacher at Freemont,
to which my good neighbors responded generously, and the term was doubled
making six months or two quarters.

1861 Again the following winter my old teacher Mr. S. took up school
at the same place, and after Christmas I again became a member of his class,
under whose guidance and instruction I so much delighted:

This term also closed with the winter.

At this time the political skys were overcast with dark and threatning
clouds.

War & peace had been clamering for months, but war prevailed and all
ready the Armies of North and South were in the fields.

Notwithstanding while our hearts were stricken with the impending
cruelties of that spirit called War; in April I offered my self to the patrons

228

THE BAYLIS FAMILY OF VIRGINIA

of the same school and they kindly supported me again for three months,
commencing the latter part of April and closing the 19th of July.

On the 21, “Sunday”, Martin Wisecarver came for me, and I went home
w’ith him, continuing wdth them until February 1864.

The cruel war sweeping destruction and death in every direction.

In April 1862 my parents moved from the mountain vallev, down to the
foot of the little mountain.

The following winter I went five weeks to school to Mr. Shelden at the
Quaker Schoolhouse.

After this the schools and churches were closed with us and in manv
other parts of the country until the close of the war.

These times w'ere full of fears and troubles so that I could not, or did
not, take any note of them to keep them in rememberance. Consequently
many of them have left mv recollection. In February 1864 it fell to mv
lot to go home and take care of the affairs and the old folks upon mvself.
This undertaking withered all my brighter days, and blasted all mv hopes,
for I dispised the locality.

On the 8 of March I was hired maid at Mrs. Margaret Wisecarvers, the
time long to be remembered by many being surprised bv a company of
Northern Soldiers lead by pilots, Bob Brown, and Dan Moss; having been
reported by some of the near relatives of the family who were among the
guests; much delighted to see a number of their friends and neighbours led
away prisoners, some of whom never returned; it rained all day and all night,
and w^as as dark as pitch.

Those who were taken were J. Barr the groom, Martin Wisecarver and
Henry Wisecarver, Abraham Wisecarver, Henry K. Wisecarver, Henrv Lamp,
Amos Marker, J. H. Tevault and William Tevault. These were in prison
13 months; two died in the time. These sorrows w’ere hard to be bourn bv
those upon whom they fell, w’hile many lost ALL, bv the cruel savages of
beastly men.

The war still going on the clouds still darker the later part of this vear
the northern forces were sent out to strip the people of everything thev could
destroy, for they were gifted with that spirit as many of us can testify too.

In November 1862 mv parents and I moved in with Marv, mv “sister”.

The 6th day of April 1 862 Martin Wisecarver and his prisoners or a
part of them reached home having been changed. After harvest I spun for
Mrs. Rachel Wisecarver; in June previous to this, Sarah E. Wisecarver and
myself spent a week in Berkeley Co. at Mr. Jacob R. Rinkers. A portion the
Winter of 1 865 I went to school to Miss Lizzie Dewer; in the spring of
1 866, we moved in with Joe Henrv Snapp.

I stayed there until November then moved back of the mountain again
to our former home or place of residence.

On the 6th of June 1866 the memory of our brave and noble Southern

229

soldiers who had fallen and were sleeping beneath the sod of the same, roused
the sympathising among the living, and they went forth, a large and solemn
procession the ladies old and young bearing beautiful flowers and ever green:
after the graves were reached, the band played solemnly and the families
strued their flowers over the sleeping dead.

After this tribute of respect had thus been paid, the precession retired
to a suitable place.

The addresses of some of the honorable brave suited to the occasion: these
gentlemen were Major White, 2 Major Hunter, 3 Maj. Duglass, 4 Maj.
Holladay, who has since risen to the head of his native state this year 1878.

In the month of October 1866 I paid a visit to the neighbourhood of
my childhood near the North Mountain, and stayed two weeks: in the mean¬
time the Stone Wall Cemetery was dedicated, in it were intered the bodies
of all the Southern Soldiers, in the vicinity of Winchester. These bodies
had all been reintered previous to the dedication which took place on the
25 of October.

General Turner Ashby, Capt. Dick his brother and Maj, Marshal were
intered on that occasion, A very large asembly were present; after these
bodies consined to their last resting place.

We remained at the place called Jennie White Spring, from Nov. 1866
till March 1869. I had the pleasure of being present at the flower strewing
that summer. The day was warm and sultry.

The last of March 1869 we moved to Abram Wisecarver’s farm which
we called Cabbin Hill; that summer I attended the flower strewing again.

The flowers were beautiful, in profusion.

Fathers health began to fall in the Spring.

In September on the 13 day he died of chronic pneumonia: he was
confined to his bed four weeks, was in his 77th year.

We continued on Cabbin Hill from March 69 until October 1872 we
moved to Joe Funkhousers.

Then having a better chance we moved again to Cedar Creek, where we
expected to remain a long time. We were very unfortunate we had not been
there but a short time until that place fell in to the possession of others,

So in April 1873 we moved again crossing the Creek this time. Setting
in the Mill House, belonging to Mr. Cunningham, for which he charged us
40 dollars a year only the house and garden. I found the people in that
section quite pleasant. I attended the Sunday School at Coal mine as a
teacher. During the winter and the summer following Marshall and his
family lived in the house with us. We stayed there until March 20, 1874.

On the Evening of the 10 of May 1873 before sunset the clouds began
to gather, thick and dark, along the mountain with thundering. Still growing
darker as the day faded away. The family all except mother and myself

had retired: I having been watching those terrific clouds, went out to view
them again before I closed the house, and thought from the looks of the
cloud that it had parted, moving north and south. Came in and told Mother
I thought the clouds were passing away. It was between eight and nine
o’clock, and while I w^as yet talking, a fierce blast of lightning followed bv
a shocking clap of thunder, then came a burst of hail upon the roof so terrible
that I thought the roof and windows must give awav under its force. This
lasted about five minutes followed by torrents of rain, and accompanied bv
fierce and constant lightning and heavy thunder, that seemed almost to shake
the earth which lasted until eleven o’clock. All the low lands were covered
with water, as far as the eyes could penetrate nothing but water was in view.
Old Cedar Creek was rolling and tossing far heard hound carrving upon her
heaving clay colored bosom everything that she could move. The storm in
the beginning was so shocking that Mother swooned, leaning on the bed but
came to at the sound of her name being called.

It is most probable that not one living today shall live to see the close of this
99 years upon which we will soon enter.

I have passed through the first year.

We have had another green Christmas.

This is a dark day, rained all night, and till noon to day. We have had
very gloomy weather for a week with rain. No signs of clear weather yet:
it is now past the turn of the day.

We thank & praise the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God
of Jacob for His goodness & mercy which He has bestoed upon me this
unprofitable hand maiden these 60 odd years.

I beseach Him to keep me and all my people for His own through all the
strugles of this life then take us to live with Him to spend our Eternity
through Jesus Christ our Lord, the sinners friend.

“Reminiscences of Early Pioneer Days
By Louisa D. Fawcett

With my little girl, in her 14th year, 1 left the old home in Ohio,
April 5th arriving in Casselton, in what was then Dakota Territory, April 8th,
1881 (nearly 36 years ago). We were met at the R. R. depot by my brother-
in-law, for whom I was to keep house (my sister [Mary Griffith Fawcett
(Shiell), 1 12,423] having died over 15 months before), and he was to help
me in securing a claim. We all rode out to the farmhouse of one of his
neighbors in a big farm sled, the snow then being 3 ft. deep on the prairie,
we were told.

After a short stay at the farm house, we were taken to the “shanty” of
brother-in-law, and were not very favorably impressed with the appearance
of the little, tar-papered building, which was possibly not over 12 ft. square,
with a gabled roof. The one room, with bare studding walls, was furnished
with a small cook stove at one end, a rude cupboard and table on one side, and
on the other a home made bed frame, hinged to the wall so as to be raised
up, and secured by straps against the wall when not in use. A wash stand,
trunk, one chair, and two small benches completed the furniture.

Above this room was a loft, partly floored over, which was the bedroom
of myself and daughter, where we could hardly stand up straight in the
centre under the comb of the roof, and which we reached by mounting the
trunk, in one corner, and climbing a ladder formed of narrow strips of board
nailed to the studding. Our bed was on a low, home-made frame, close to
the floor, extending under the sloping roof to the eaves, but little above the
floor, where daughter was in danger of bumping her head if she thought¬
lessly raised up in bed to a sitting posture.

The snow on the ground did not go away for perhaps a week or ten days
at least, for I remember hanging out at least one, if not two washings before
it left us; but when it did go it went with a rush, and drove a neighbor, who
had been living for the winter in a claim shanty, in the low land near the
coulie, to seek shelter with us till they could remove to a house on higher
ground. The woman and her baby occupied our little room in the loft with
daughter and me, her husband sharing brother-in-law’s bed downstairs.

The melting of the snow filled coulies and pockets with plenty of soft
water for repeated washings necessary to clean up every thing in the long
neglected shanty. And when seeding was over and grain a few inches high,
I began to feel nervous about getting my claim; but finally my “slow-coach”
brother-in-law set out to look for a suitable situation, and after his return
we prepared for the trip to locate.

240

THE BAYLIS FAMILY OF VIRGINIA

Leaving daughter with a neighbor, and climbing onto the load of lumber
for a shanty, we started, and for nearly all the first day followed what I
believe was called the Goose River Trail. Toward evening we turned to
the left, near a small settler’s house, leaving the trail for the untracked prairie,
and halted for the night near a newly built shanty, unfinished, wdth only tar
paper covering the roof. No one was at home, and we were looking around
among some sod shanties close by, to find a shelter (for a storm was threaten-
ing), when we saw a young man, who proved to be the proprietor, coming
across the field. He took us in, and we made our beds on the floor, I in the
north-west corner, brother-in-law in the south-east corner the voung man’s
bedstead occupying the south-west corner, and a pile of refuse lumber and
shavings the north-east corner. Removing only our shoes, we wrapped our¬
selves in our comforts, and, w'ith valises for pillows, lav^ down “to pleasant
dreams”.

How long it was before the storm broke upon us I do not remember, but
heavy wind accompanied it, and presently I felt the shanty moving, then a
jar and it had stopped. The clock on the shelf went on ticking, but irregu¬
larly, as it was thrown out of level. The young man hastened into his
clothes, and he and brother-in-law went out to inv^estigate, and found that
the shanty had been some six feet at one end and eight or ten at the other
off its foundation, which was simply pieces of logs laid down, that acted as
rollers on which the light building slid under the force of the wind. Rain
began to come in my corner, and I had to mov^e to the pile of lumber refuse.

In the morning we resumed our journey, traveling by the aid of our
compass and the section stakes, over the trackless prairie, once or twice passing
a man and team breaking land of the Red River Land Company, preparing
for a first crop, and reaching our destination, by the bank of the Middle
Branch of the Goose River, that afternoon.

As it was Saturday, we must make preparations for camping over Sabbath;
so we unloaded the lumber and constructed a temporary shanty over the
wagon, by placing one end of the long boards on the ground in such manner
that the other ends, resting on one side of the wagon, reached over the other
side, where we boarded up the farther side. The wagon bed, under this
shelter, was my bed room, into which I crawled on hands and knees, to the
front end, with valise for a pillow, while the horses, tied to the hind end,
champed their hay and grain. Brother-in-law’s room was by the side of the
wagon, on the ground, under the low side of the shelter, while provisions and
tools and harness were stored under the wagon.

The Sabbath was spent mostly in wandering over the prairie, I ov^er that
which was to be my pre-emption claim, brother-in-law roaming farther. But
Monday morning found us on our wav, crossing the stream and going nearlv
half a mile to the northwest corner of the quarter section, where we erected
the shanty, I myself sawing boards in two and holding up one side of the
shanty while one end was nailed to it. I think the size was eight by ten feet,
with dirt floor.

BIOGRAPHIES OF THE BAYLIS FAMILY

241

Alter plowing a little on this and two other quarters, to hold them in case
cl necessity, we started bright and early next morning on the return journey.
Brother-in-law went to Fargo to file for me at the Land Office there, while I
did baking and other necessary preparations for a second trip, when we took
daughter, and Charlie Green who had filed on what is now his home farm,
and who was to board with me while brother-in-law did breaking for him.

An abandoned “shanty” was our shelter for the first night, which we
humorously styled our “hotel”, and on arriving at home the next day we cut
grass and made hay to fill a gunny-sack bed tick, built a rude bunk along one
side of shanty opposite the door, set up an old-fashioned, two-holed cook
stove with elevated oven, between bunk and door, and laid bags of oats on the
ground at the farther end. Stretching a shawl between the bags of oats and
the bunk divided the shanty into two rooms. Daughter and I made our bed
on the bags of oats, while the men slept in the bunk.

We women amused ourselves building a sod hen-house for my three
chickens, cutting brush and carrying it from the river for the roof, and as¬
sisted in building a sod beginning for a stable, to be finished up with lumber
above the sods, and playing, between times, with a young jackrabbit we had
brought with us, caught when so tiny it could sit on one of our hands.

I must omit further mention of this summer’s doings, except the catching
of several young prairie chickens. By propping up one end of my big bureau
box with a stick to which a rope was tied, and pulling the rope when the
flock of chickens took shelter in the shade of the box, we captured four or
five, I think it was but one had its leg broken by the fall of the box. All
grew in the rude coop we made for them slats nailed to one side and end
of a box, and became so tame that, when they saw me in the yard, they would
call me with their peculiar Hoo! Hoo! and would take food from my hand.

The next spring I was offered the position of Primary Teacher in the
Casselton School, and moved into town. Before the opening of School,
however, I must visit my claim and add a few improvements to hold it. The
R. R. was not yet built to Hope, but the Portland Branch of the Great
Northern had been built during the winter. As there was not any R. R.
track between Everest and Casselton, I had to go by stage to Everest, where
I waited, with others, for the train which failed to come. Waiting all day
and no train coming, we went to a so-called Hotel for the night, where I
walked between two rows of men on the floor, heads to the walls and path
at their feet, to reach my bed-room, separated by a lath partition from the
men’s room, sharing my room with another woman, a stranger.

Next morning, no train coming, the section men went by hand car to
Durbin to learn the cause (telegraphic communication being finished only as
far as Durbin), and on their return reported a wash out on the Sheyenne
River, below there. Sitting in the dining room at the Flotel, I had heard
a man talking at breakfast. He was Mr. Smart, agent of the Red River
Land Co., and spoke of Hope. When the hand car came up with its report

242

THE BAYLIS FAMILY OF VIRGINIA

Mr. Smart stepped out and bargained with the men to haul him up the line
on the hand car. Then I did the same. They put two planks on the car
on which my trunk could rest, and I, seated on the trunk, steadied myself
with my unbrella in one hand while holding a hand satchel in the other,
riding thus from Everest to Ripon.

There, at the little hotel, we looked all day in vain for the train, and
another night was spent in a small room with lath partitions, and I was
awakened by the call that the hand car would start in 1 5 minutes. Dressing
hastily and swallowing a morsel I was ready, and we rode as before to the
next section house, where we had to wait till the men came home to dinner.
Then Mr. Smart engaged that crew to take us over their beat to the next,
and on till we found the next car; then the next car took us on to the next
and so on till we got to where Clifford now stands. Here Mr. Smart had a
man and team, as it was the point where the Red River Land Co. unloaded
all their materials for Hope, the large Hotel and other buildings having been
put up with lumber hauled from this point. Mr. Smart, with his team and
light wagon, brought me and my trunk over to Hope, where I was the first
lady guest entertained in that old Hope House, burned down several years ago.

Mr. Winchell, the Principal of the Casselton Schools, who had gone to
his claim a few days before I started for mine, greeted me at the door with
“Well, well, well, where did you come from?” Mr. Winchell assisted me
bv finding a man who, with his hired man, had brought lumber or something
from Hillsboro and were going to return to that place. We bargained with
them to take us as far as Blanchard (on the Mavvllle Line, then a branch of
the N.P.), and to go by way of my claim and help with some improvements.
We took a few boards needed to complete the roof of the stable. On reach¬
ing the river it was swollen so that, missing the right crossing, they swam
their horses and had to unhitch them and bring them back and pull the wagon
out by hitching to the hind end. Then, backing the wagon into the stream
for a bridge, we crossed, each man carrying a board and I bringing nails and
hammer. Thus loaded we walked nearly a half mile to the shanty, where
two of the men laid shingles, left there all winter, while Mr. Winchell
nailed the boards on the stable roof, using stones for hammers, all working
as long as we dared before starting on to catch the train at Blanchard.

With one board on the bottom of the otherwise bottomless wagon, which
I could just reach with the tip of mv toes from the spring seat where I sat,
the ride was a very long and verv tiresome one, and I w’as completelv tired
out when the Casselton headquarters were finally reached.

All there was of Hope, in this summer of 1881, was a single house of
ni'^derate size, with possibly two or three shanties around it, situated on the
higher ground north of the present town. When on our way to and from
my claim that first summer, we could see this building and shanties from an
elevated situation away to the east. That building now forms the main part
of Jake Fulmer’s residence, having been moved down and added to since
the early days.

Since writing out these personal experiences, Mrs. Wheeler has requested
me to add something about the flowers and shrubs of our region. I was
deeply interested in these, but as my Botany did not describe the western
flora, I was unable to analyze and classify more than a very few. The Basque
flower, earliest harbinger of spring, falsely called crocus by many, is not a
crocus at all, but Anemone Mitaliana. A little later on several species of
violets adorn the prairie, and then come the purplish clusters of bean-like
blossoms of the Buffalo bean, and one or two species of vetch with their
delicate blue blossoms, one of these I think is Vicia Americana. The wild
roses, the little blue hare bell (if I am not mistaken in its identity) and the
snowy Galeum boreale (which the children call dutch cheese), are in bloom
about the same time and combine prettily in a red-white-and-blue bouquet.
Another dainty blossom is that of a pink-flowered oxalis, which was quite a
surprise to me. In the early days of July the prairies of the long ago were
a mass of color from the profusion of wild lilies. Liatris punctata is an
August bloomer. Grindelia Squarrosa or Gum plant, with a yellow blossom,
is, as its name indicates, a very gummy plant. I have found at least two
distinct species of wild sunflower, Helianthus Maximiliani, a coarse, much
branched variety, and H. rlgidus, probably, a more slender and more beauti¬
ful variety, with dark stems and but little branched, the flower having a dark
disk, or centre. Some of the milkweeds are represented in our flora, and I
have found, at Arthur, N. D., a specimen of Spiderwort, Tradescantia Ver-
ginica, but am not certain whether it is native, or had been introduced from
other regions. Our Autumn landscape is gay with the Goldenrod, of which
there are several distinct species to be found. But I must not forget the
modest Closed-blue gentian, Gentiana Andrews!!, which is an Autumn bloom¬
er, Our wooded regions give us the dainty wood violet, the wild Columbine,
Aqullegia Canadensis, and some very pretty ferns.

Of shrubs, we have, on the prairie the Wolf-berry, Symphoricarpus occi-
dentalls, a sister shrub to the Snowberry of our Grandmothers’ gardens.
Then there is a silvery foliaged bush, bearing lilac-like small yellowish flowers
of delicious fragrance. I have often wished for one in my yard. The tim¬
bered stretches along our streams give us wild currants, gooseberries, raspber¬
ries, Juneberries, pin-cherries, choke-cherries. Plums, High-bush Cranberries,
and possibly the black haw. This latter I have found on the Minnesota side,
but am not sure as to its being Indigenous to N. Dak.”

On November 2, 1911, Louisa Deborah Fawcett (Hogue)
married Edward S. Fawcett, a distant cousin. She wrote a
number of poems, and received two letters from Henry W.

Orlando Elisha Hogue
(Hoge) was born on June 28,
1844.

He was the oldest of
eleven children of Thomas
Rawlings Hoge and Mary
Taylor Fawcett (Hoge.) He
and his wife, Louisa Deborah
Fawcett (Hoge) were second
cousins.

Orlando Elisha Hoge ser¬
ved for three years and three
months in the U. S. Army
during the Civil War.

His father, Thomas Raw¬
lings Hoge, was the son of
Abner Hoge and his wife
Sarah. In 1939 an ingenious
family tree of the Hoge family was prepared by Wendell P.
Hogue of Pasadena, California. This was in the form of a
tree, the original of which is too large to reproduce in this book.
Many of the following facts are derived from this tree and the
legends attached to it.

Ori.ando Erisha Hogue

Genealogical Tree

“Whosoever gives no thought concerning ancestrv, may not hope to be
remembered by posterin'”.

“Abner Hoge was the son of Solomon Hoge, son of Solomon Hoge, son
of William Hoge (first Quaker in the Hoge family), son of William Hoge
(who came from Scotland to America in 1682), son of Sir James Hoge, son
of George Hoge, son of Sir John Hoge, who lived in Scotland during the
latter part of the sixteenth century. Beginning with the last of the seven
generations represented on this tree and counting back to Sir John Hoge,
shows an unbroken line of fourteen generations. There is some evidence
that Sir Walter Scott was descended from the old Scotch family of Hoge.

‘William Hoge, the immigrant from Scotland, married a Barbara Hume,

BIOGRAPHIES OF THE BAYLIS FAMILY

245

a relative it is said of the philosopher-historian David Hume, whose ancestors
trace back to Robert the Bruce, King of Scotland.

“Abner Hoge was born in Loudoun Co., Va., March 24, 1785. In 1806
he settled in Belmont County, Ohio, on a tract of land (since known as Hoge .
Ridge) located one and one half miles north of the town of Belmont. In
1808 he married Sarah Milner, who was born in Loudoun County, Virginia,
February 27, 1783.

“In the virgin forest of Ohio these two pioneers builded for themselves a
cabin home, cleared a productive farm and thereon reared a family of nine
children. The names of their descendants together with the names of those
who married into the family, 75 8 in all, are recorded on the nine branches
of this “Tree”. Those living as this record closes reside in Ohio, West Vir¬
ginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri,
Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, Nebraska, So. Dakota, No. Dakota, Washington
and California.”

“Compiled, drawn and published by

Wendell Phillips Hoge
March 6, 1939.”

“Pasadena, California, March 24, 1939, Copyrighted.”

In the History of the Lower Shenandoah Valley by J. E. Norris, P. 565,
is related the following story of William Hoge and his wife, Barbara Hume
(Hoge). William Hoge left Scotland when quite a youth, in company with
other emigrants, among whom was a family by the name of Hume; the father
and mother died at sea and left a daughter, an only child.

Young Hoge took charge of the young Miss Hume (then a child) and
after arriving in this country, delivered her to the care of a Dr. Johnston, a
family connection. In course of time William Hoge married this Miss Hume.

Dr. Robert White was born in Scotland in 1688, graduated in Edinburgh,
studied medicine and became a surgeon in the British Navy, which position
was held by him for some years. There is a tradition that he resigned on
account of having been engaged in a duel with a British officer. While still
in the service he came to America about 1720. He then visited the home of
William Hoge, “progenitor of the now well-known and distinguished Hoge
family of Virginia, who then lived in Delaware.” When Dr. Robert White
visited the Hoge family, “he met, wooed and won their eldest daughter,
Margaret Hoge.” This is probably the true solution of his resignation from
the British Navy.

About 173 5, William Hoge, then an old man, removed with his children
to Frederick County, Va. (which county was not formed as such until 1738),
and was accompanied by Dr. Robert White and his wife and children. Hogue
Creek, west of Winchester, Va. is named from this family.

Dr. Robert White was the ancestor of many noted citizens of Virginia
including his grandson, Judge Robert White, who was born on March 28,
1759, near Winchester, and became Judge of the General Court of Virginia.

246

The Whites built a fort in 1790 that later became the old brick house known
as Hayfield, west of Hogue Creek. Some of the White descendants later
lived in the vicinity of Capon Springs, W. \"a.

Co., Va. Another descendant was Rev. Moses Hoge, who be¬
came president of Hampton Sydney College, Ohio. In 1 742,
the Hoge family contributed to the building of the church at
Opequon, three miles from Winchester, Va.

at the home of her grandson, W. W. McCullough. Her
mother’s name was Fruit. Her grandparents came fromi
Europe and settled near Hagerstown, Maryland. After the
Revolution her parents moved to Montgomery Co., Kentucky,
where she was born.

Simeon McCullough was the son of James McCullough,
one of three brothers, James, William, and John, who came
from Glass, Scotland. All three enlisted in Stafford Co., Vir¬
ginia, and fought in the Revolution. James served from
October, 1776, to October, 1778, in the 30th Virginia Regi¬

White River and Black Creek Canal. He contracted typhoid
fever, and although his wife went to Anderson to nurse him he
died there on April 8, 1838, when Jacob Sydner, his youngest
child, was two years old.

Jacob Sydner McCullough attended country schools and
later Richland Academy, where he afterward taught Algebra.
In his first class was his future wife, “Addie” Downey.

In 1861 the faculty and students of Richland Academy
formed Company K of the 37th Indiana Volunteers. Jacob
Sydner McCullough fought in the battles of Stone River,
Lookout Mountain and Vicksburg. He was mustered out in
1864 with a wounded foot and a deafened ear. During the
war he kept a diary in five small volumes, which, together with
an order book kept for his officers in his beautiful handwriting,
are now preserved in the Indiana Historical Society. He was
an officer of the Union Veteran Legion, and of the G.A.R.

For a year he taught mathematics in Hartsville (Ind.)
Academy. Then with his wife and young son he moved to
Indianapolis. He became bookkeeper for a wholesale dry
goods firm, a position he held through five changes in the
firm, and for more than half his life. His appointments as
notary public were signed by all the governors of Indiana from
1876 to 1896. He never lost his interest in and love for
mathematics and astronomy. When he died he possessed what
was said to be the finest private mathematics library in Indiana,
which was bought by Purdue University at Lafayette, Ind.
His sons teased about what they called “father’s chronic sec¬
tions” (conic). He also found time to study Latin and Greek.

For several years before her death, Katherine Baylis Row¬
land was Curator of the General Lew Wallace Study, for the
organization of which she was largely responsible. She was a
close friend and neighbor of General Lew Wallace, best known
as the author of “Ben Hur”. She was a leader in the move¬
ment to establish the “Community House for Women and
Girls of the City of Crawfordsville” in 1941 as a gift from
Lew Wallace, 2nd. In 1941 she was president of the “Bundles
for Britain”, Montgornery Co., Ind. Chapter.

Her distinguished service and high standing in the com¬
munity may be judged from the following resolution.

“In Memorium — Katherine M. B. Rowland

With the death, March 14, 1945, of Katherine M. Baylis Rowland,
Crawfordsville the State of Indiana, lost one of its most distinguished citizens
— one who for many years gave herself unstintingly to movements for the
public welfare.

Soon after coming as a bride to Crawfordsville, Mrs. Rowland won for
herself a place in the social and civil life of the city. Rare were the College
dances, receptions and other social events in the city which were not graced
by the beautiful and gracious Katherine Rowland, and during the almost half
a century she dwelt in our midst, her life was a succession of leadership and
labor in worth-while efforts of public good.

Far from adequate, at best, must be any effort to deal justly with
Katherine Rowland whose untimely passing we her friends and associates
mourn, but whose good deeds, true fineness of spirit, tolerance, co-operation
and loyalty, will always be an inspiring and lasting memorial to her.

She was a woman of ability and foresight and took a real delight in help-
ing establish and maintain organizations and institutions which would benefit
the citizens of Crawfordsville and Montgomery County. She was for many
years an active member of the Board of Directors of the Community House
for Women and Girls, an institution which she helped to organize, and of
which she served as president for a number of years, holding this honor at the
time of her death. As president, she was instrumental in the transaction
which made possible the sale of the Community House property to the U. S.
Government for a new post office and later, the purchase of the General Lew
Wallace Study by the Board of Directors as a gift to the city, to be a com¬
munity memorial.

Therefore, Be it resolved that the Board of Directors of the Community
House for Women and Girls realizes that it has lost a faithful and efficient
member in the death of Katherine Rowland and that it desires to place of
record, by means of this resolution, an expression of its appreciation of her
devotion and valuable service.

1903, he married Dale Ogden Aikin, and they have four
children.

For many years, J. Frank Baylis has been Secretary of the
Trustees of Hebron Lutheran Church at Interment, W. Va.
He was an election supervisor in Hampshire Co., W. Va., and
later in Winchester, Va. In 1932, when the George Wash¬
ington Bicentennial was celebrated, J. Frank Baylis, who then
conducted Capon Lake Inn, had a reprint made of the places in
Virginia and West Virginia where George Washington had
surveyed. These included surveys on the Cacapon River, Lost
River and Trout Run. An overprint of the modern auto roads
showed tourists how to reach these points.

113,165-W Dale Ogden Aiken (Baylis) was born at
Yellow Springs, W. Va., on April 10, 1880. She attended
public school and a private school taught by Miss Betty Wad¬
dle at Yellow Springs j and a school at Lacey Springs, Va.
She was a school teacher up to the time of her marriage to J.
Frank Baylis. For over thirty years she assisted him in the
operation of Capon Lake Inn, where her wonderful cooking
was a great attraction. Since they moved to Winchester, Va.,
she was active in entertaining soldiers during World War II,
and assisted in the annual celebrations of the Winchester Fire
Department. She died on December 27, 1956, and was buried
at Hebron Lutheran Church, Interment, W. Va.

She was one of four children of Leonidas Welch Aiken and
Elizabeth Waddle Kline (Aikin). The other children were:

William Aikin, who was in the tombstone business, first in
Winchester, Va., and later in Mt. Holly, N. J., where he died
in 1954.

Virginia Aikin, who was born on February 14, 1884, and
died at 20 years of age from appendicitis.

Charles Lee Aikin, who spent over twenty years in the
U. S. Navy as a radio expert, and retired in 1947 as a Com¬
mander, U.S.N. He lived in Winchester, Va., where he was

Director of Parks and Recreation, and was in charge of play¬
grounds and swimming pools. He owned a cottage next to
Capon Lake Inn, and now owns the farm and house a few
miles north of Yellow Springs, that formerly belonged to the
Benjamin Kump family, and was the childhood home of Gov¬
ernor H. Guy Kump and Judge G. Kerr Kump. Charles Lee
Aikin married Ruth Carter, daughter of Stacy Carter and
Amelia (Carter). She is a descendant of the Carter family of
Virginia, who built Carter Hall, near Charlottesville, Va.
They now live in the old Kump home.

Leonidas Welch Aikin owned and operated the flour mill
at Yellow Springs, W. Va. He died on April 29, 1903. He
was the son of Jesse Booth Aikin and Eleanor Welch ("Aikin).
Jesse Booth Aikin was a “music master’’, an author and teacher
of music, and inventor of musical devices. He invented and
built a moving keyboard organ, one of which was for years in
the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D. C., and is now
in the Estes Museum of Musical Instruments.

Elizabeth Waddle Kline ( “Aunt Betty”) (Aikin) (Myers)
was born on May 29, 1861. She was the daughter of Asa
Kli ne, and Margaret Rebecca McKeever (Kline), who was the
daughter of Hugh McKeever and Lucinda Ogden ( Mc¬
Keever), who came from Kentucky and Louisiana.

Asa Kline was the son of Philip Kline (b. January 31,
1 807) and Elizabeth r (Kline). Philip Kline was the
son of Philip Kline (b. January 1, 1760, d. June 21, 1842) and
Elizabeth Schweizerin (or Switzer) (Kline) (b. September 21,
1773, d. October 21, 1857), who were married on March 31,
1791. Philip Kline was a soldier in the Revolution and was
buried at Hebron Church, Intermont, W. Va.

The above dates were obtained from the German Bible of
the Kline family that was printed in 1755 by Johann Andrea
at Nurnberg, Germany. In 1946, when we examined and
translated the entries from this Bible, it was owned bv Walton
Brill, at Lehew, W. Va. The name was spelled “Klein” in

the Bible, but some of the descendants have used the name
^^Kline”, and others the name ^^Cline”. To avoid confusion
we have used “Kline” in this record.

In this Bible are recorded the names and dates of the fol¬
lowing fourteen children of Philip and Elizabeth Switzer
(Kline), all of whom were baptized shortly after their birth.

The following account of the wedding of Leonidas Welch
Aikin and Elizabeth Waddell Kline was told to Willetta Bay-
lis (Blum) by “Aunt Betty” Kline (Aikin) (Myers).

On April 28, 1879, Leonidas Welch Aikin and Elizabeth
Waddell Kline eloped from their homes at Yellow Springs,
W. Va. The couple rode on a horse belonging to Frances
Rudolph (“Fanny”) (Kump.) Her two brothers, Elijah
Letcher Rudolph and Baxter Rudolph rode with the young
couple to protect them from interference by her parents or
brothers. Letcher Rudolph rode as far as Gore, Va. j and then
returned home. Baxter Rudolph rode on with them and they
reached the home of Joseph Henry Snapp, 113,35-H, near
Capon Roads, Va., at 4 a. m. Betty Kline was put to bed in the
upper spare room, and Leonidas Aiken and Baxter Rudolph

278

THE BAYLIS FAMILY OF VIRGINIA

slept downstairs with the Snapp boys. At daybreak Joseph
Henry Snapp and the boys got up, and Leonidas and Baxter also
had breakfast and went out with them to work on the farm.
When they came back at noon, Betty was still asleep. So after
lunch they all went out to work again, and when they returned
in the afternoon, Betty had just gotten up, which caused great
amusement.

Joseph Henry Snapp then proposed that after they were
married they should return to him, and Leonidas should work
for him for three months to give them some pocket money.
They gladly accepted this offer.

Baxter Rudolph rode with the young couple to the railroad
station, where they took the train to Harpers Ferry, W. Va.
Baxter then took the two horses back to the Kump home in
West Virginia.

When they reached Harpers Ferry, they met Lycurgus
Mason and Jenny Frank of \ ellow Springs, who had also
come to be married. So they were married at this junction of
the three states by the minister in one ceremony for the two
couples, an eventful day for all. (Lycurgus Mason was the
father of Ashby Mason, now a lawyer in Washington, D. C.)
The young couple returned to the house of Joseph Henry
Snapp where they stayed several months. They then went
back to 1; ellow Springs, W. Va., where Leonidas Aikin later
owned and operated the flour mill.

On November 14, 1907, some years after the death of
Leonidas Aikin in 1903, his widow married Erasmus P. Myers,
a Civil War veteran, and lived on a farm near Timberville,
Va., until his death in 1927.

Elizabeth Waddle Kline (Aikin) (Myers) spent her re¬
maining years with her sister, Alice Kline (Lincoln), and her
daughter, Mrs. J. Frank Baylis, and her son, Charles Lee
Aikin. She died in Winchester, Va., on August 4, 1952, and
was buried at Hebron Cemetery, Interment, W. Va.

BIOGRAPHIES OF THE BAYLIS FAMILY 279

113,116 Harriet (Hatty) Rebecca Baylis was born on
April 3, 1880, near Yellow Springs, W. Va. j and died on July
11, 1891, from an infection caused by a cold contracted while
picking cherries in a cold rainstorm. She was a beautiful child,
loved by all of her family and friends.

113,167 Willetta Edmonia Carr Baylis (Blum) was born
near Yellow Springs, W. Va., on April 13, 1882. After the
death of her mother in 1892, she stayed at home with her
father and younger brothers until 1895. She then moved to
Philadelphia, where she lived for two years with her oldest
sister, Katherine Moore Davis Baylis (Rowland), 113,162, at
the home of William and Elmina Carr, for whom she was
named “Carr”. She attended public school in Germantown, a
suburb of Philadelphia.

In 1898 she entered Maryland College for Women at
Lutherville, Md., through the generosity of Charles Fawcett
Street, F-1 13,221,62, and his wife, Kathleen Fowkes (Street),
who was the aunt of Samuel Conrad Rowland, Sr., who mar¬
ried Katherine Moore Davis Baylis, 1 13,162. Willetta gradu¬
ated from Maryland College in 1902, with the degree of
Bachelor of Science.

She then entered the School for Nurses at Kensington Hos¬
pital of Surgery in Philadelphia. She studied under the
founder of the Hospital, Dr. Charles P. Noble j and Dr.
Howard Kelly, who was famous for his invention of new sur¬
gical appliances, and who often consulted with Sir William
Osier, the famous physician who is often referred to as the
“father of modern medicine”. Also with Dr. Harris, who
later practiced medicine in Johnstown, Pa., and for many years
spent his vacations at Capon Lake Inn and fished in the Capon
River.

From 1904 to 1910, she was employed as a Registered
Nurse in Philadelphia, partly in homes, and partly as head
nurse in two small private hospitals where the duties were often
very strenuous. She was a member of the Graduate Nurses

280

THE BAYLIS FAMILY OF VIRGINIA

Association of Pennsylvania. During this period she made
her home with Thomas L. Wilson and his wife, Pearl Provost
(Wilson), who were life-long friends of her sister, Katherine
Baylis (Rowland), and were like “foster parents” to Willetta
Baylis (Blum).

On September 20, 1910, she was married to Dr. William
Blum in Trinity Lutheran Church, Germantown, Philadelphia,
by Rev. Luther B. Deyoe, pastor. With her husband, she went
to Washington, D. C., where they lived in apartments till 1913,
and attended St. PauPs Lutheran Church. Their only son,
William Blum, Jr., was born in Washington in 191 1. In 1913
they moved to Chevy Chase, Md., a suburb of Washington,
where they built a home in which they lived until 1953. The
many guests from this and other countries caused this home to
be called “the house with rubber walls”. In 40 years, three
oak thresholds were worn out!

She and her husband are members of Chevy Chase Presby¬
terian Church, in which she has been active in the Women’s
Organizations. She attended for many years the Women’s
Bible Class, taught by the late Rev. Charles L. Carhart. She
was an instructor in the Girl Scout troops from 1929 to 1932.
At this time Mrs. Herbert Hoover was a National Officer of
the Girls Scouts, and often visited their camp in Chevy Chase.
In 1918 she joined the Chevy Chase Women’s Club, of which
she is now one of the oldest living members. She is a member
of the Daughters of the American Revolution, as a descendant
of Captain Henry Baylis, 113. She is a member of the
Y.W.C.A. With her husband, she travelled extensively
through the United States. In 1953 they flew to Hawaii, New
Zealand and Australia, where they made many friends. In
1935 and 1954, they spent several months in Europe, and have
friends in many countries. She enjoys air travel, and has made
over 100 flights.

Her interest in genealogy and family history started early,
when she gathered and recorded data about the Baylis and

BIOGRAPHIES OF THE BAYLIS FAMILY

281

Rudolph families. Her interest and inspiration were largely
responsible for the first Rudolph Family Reunion at Hebron
Church, Intermont, W. Va., in 1936j and the first Baylis Fam.-
ily Reunion in 1941. She prepared a mimeographed gene¬
alogy of the Rudolph family in 1938, which we hope soon to
revise. She has^collected and contributed much of the ma¬
terial presented in this genealogy. She is very much interested
and enthusiastic in her efforts in this field.

(Note — This account was not written by her!)

1 13,167-H William Blum, Sr., was born in Philadelphia
on December 28, 1 881. He is the son of Jacob Blum and
Katherine Hoffman (Blum), who had nine children who lived
to maturity. In 1 882 his parents moved to Germantown, a
suburb of Philadelphia, where Jacob Blum operated a bakery
business in which all the children had duties as soon as they
were old enough.

William Blum attended elementary schools in German¬
town, and the Central High School in Philadelphia. He then
received a scholarship to the University of Pennsylvania, where
he graduated in 1903 with a B.S. in Chemistry. From 1903
to 1909 he was an instructor and assistant professor at the
University of Utah in Salt Lake City. In 1908 he received his
Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania.

In 1909 he came to the Bureau of Standards in Washington,
D. C., where he engaged in researches in analytical and electro¬
chemistry till his retirement in 1951. Much of his time was
devoted to studies to develop and improve methods of electro¬
plating. In 1924, with George B. Hogaboom, he published
the book, “Principles of Electroplating and Electroforming”,
of which three editions have been published. It is considered
the standard text book on this subject.

» In recognition of his work in this field, he has received
many honors and awards. He was presented with medals
from the American Institute of Chemists, the Electrochemical

282

THE BAYLIS FAMILY OF VIRGINIA

Society, the U. S. Department of Commerce, the Franklin
Institute, and the Institute of Metal Finishing (London). He
is an honorary member of several scientific societies. In 1953
he received an Honorary Degree of Doctor of Science from the
University of Pennsylvania. Since his retirement in 1951, he
has served as a consultant to Frankford Arsenal in Philadelphia,
and to Rock Island Arsenal in Rock Island, Ill. He has con¬
tinued his interest in scientific societies, and in writing articles
and books in this field. Through travels abroad with his wife,
he has acquired many friends in Europe, Australia and New
Zealand.

In the Chevy Chase Presbyterian Church he taught in the
Sunday School, was an Elder, and for many years lead a group
of young College Students. These and other young groups
from the Church went each year for an outing at Capon
Lake Inn. In Chevy Chase he was chairman of the Section
Four Citizens Committee (a sort of Mayor) for many years.

With his wife, Willetta Baylis (Blum), he has cooperated
for many years in the preparation of genealogies of the
Rudolph, Baylis and Blum families. His principal contribu¬
tion has been the organization and presentation of the extensive
data collected by his wife and by the many others who have
supplied information on their ancestors.

“We thank thee God for all thy gifts,

To thy weak children here
That thy omniscience bridges rifts
And conquers every fear
And draws us close within thy heart,

Which holds the whole wide world.

And will not let us draw apart.

Though by sad misfortune hurled.

But most of all we thank thee God
For one priceless gift bestowed
Which sets despairing spirits free

And lightens the heaviest load.

Which seems of all thy gifts the best
A gift of Godly love
The gift of perfect peaceful rest.

Sweet manna from above.”

now named “Richard Black Coast.” In March 1941, because
of heavy ice, the ships were unable to approach within 100
miles of the base. Personnel, emergency gear and records
were evacuated in two loads in an East Base airplane. The
plane was abandoned on Mikkelson Island and the 26 men in
the wintering party went down a 400 foot cliff on lines, to boats
from the Barkentine “Bear”. He arranged for the shipment
of a number of Emperor penguins to the zoo at Washington,
D. C., where they lived longer than any penguins previously
exhibited in any zoo.

SUPPLEMENTS

In our search for records of the Baylis family and its
descendants, considerable information was gained regarding
certain families that were associated with or married into the
Baylis family. In most cases these data had been assembled
by descendants of those other families, who kindly made their
notes available to the authors of this text. As there was in
each case no prospect of early publication of these data, their
compilers have kindly consented to our inclusion of these
records as supplements to the Baylis Family Genealogy. In
most cases it was not feasible to trace these lines up to the
present living generation. It is hoped however that this brief
summary of each family will stimulate and assist some modern
descendants of that family to publish a more extensive
genealogy of their ancestors.

In each supplement, the system of numbering described in
Chapter 1 (p 4), has been employed. In order to distin¬
guish the resultant numbers from those pertaining directly to
the Baylis family, an appropriate letter has been prefixed to
each number. For example, the number C-142 refers to the
Chunn family^ T-1 12,32 to the Turner family^ F-112,1 to
the Fawcett familyj H-113,7 to the Hawkins family; and
EB-131 to the English Baylis family of Rev. Harry Baylis.

Supplement A
Notes on the Chunn Family

On page 24 it will be seen that William Baylis, 1 1 2, married
Elizabeth Turner, who was the daughter of Capt. Hezekiah
Turner of Fauquier Co., Va., and Henrietta Chunn, who lived

in Charles Co., Md. It is therefore appropriate to include
supplements on the Turner and Chunn families.

The following data on the Chunn family are condensed
from more comprehensive notes kindly sent to us by Miss
Helen Montague Turner, who now resides at Warwick City,
Va., on the James River, about 30 miles south of Williams¬
burg, Va. She is a descendant of Zephaniah Turner, T-1 12,3 1,
who was the brother of Capt. Hezekiah Turner.

NOTES ON THE TURNER FAMILY

This supplement is based on information received from
Miss Helen Montague Turner, which has been materially con¬
densed. There are many gaps and some apparent contradic¬
tions, but it is hoped that these notes and references will inspire

According to Thomas’ Chronicles, among the early settlers
of Maryland was Edward Turner, son of William Turner,
T-1, transported to Maryland in 1652. In the records of
Court Leet and Court Barron of St. Clements Manor (near
Chaptico, St. Mary’s Co., Md.) between 1659 and 1672
Edward Turner is referred to several times as a lease holder.
About 1678 Edward Turner acquired from Lord Baltimore
200 acres in Bashford (Basford or Barstable) Manor, near
Chaptico, Md. From the Rent Rolls at Annapolis, Edward
Turner subsequently acquired the “Bow”, a tract of about 200
acres near Chaptico, but in Charles Co., Md.

422

THE BAYLIS FAMILY OF VIRGINIA

By a will in St. Mary’s Co., Md., dated December 28,
1693, and probated July 27, 1709, Edward Turner devised
the dwelling, plantation and lands to his eldest son, Thomas
Turner j to his youngest son, Samuel Turner, the tract of land
known as the ^^Bow”^ to his daughter Elizabeth Turner, her
mother Elizabeth’s wedding ring and other personal estate.
His son Thomas was ordered to care for the grandchildren,
Mary and Eliza Haly (daughters of Clement Haly). His
wife, Mary Turner was to live at the dwelling plantation during
her life, and in accordance with the anti-nuptial contract. She
was to have full possession of the estate of her former husband
and to dispose of it to her children. He left instructions to
be buried between his two former wives (not named). (St.
Mary’s Co., Md. Wills, Liber P.C.l, Folio 80)

T-12 John Turner is mentioned as the son of William
Turner, transported to Maryland in 1756. Subsequently he is
mentioned as a juror.

proved on October 29, 1 746, in Charles Co., Md., he left his
son Edward Turner 200 acres of land lying in St. Mary’s Co.,
Md., on the east side of Wicomico River in “Bastable Manor”,
and also a part of a tract of land called “Turner’s Forest” in
Charles Co., Md., and that part of land formerly called St.

“Turner’s Forest”. After the decease of my wife Lydia, I
give to my son Samuel the plantation whereon I now dwell.
To my daughters Micha and Ruth and to son Bernard etc.
(Charles Co., Md. Wills, Liber A.C. 4, Folio 22)

In the will of John Dent in St. Mary’s Co., Md., dated
September 25, 1711, and proved May 5, 1712, he leaves to his
daughter, Lydia (wife of Samuel Turner) and her heirs, 100
acres of “St. Ann”. This tract had been originally granted in
1762 to Dennis Hussenlow. The “Bow” and “St. Ann” were
undoubtedly contiguous, as in 1721 a resurvey was made of
both tracts as one, thereafter known as “Turner’s Forest”.

NOTES ON THE FAWCETT FAMILY OF
PENNSYLVANIA, VIRGINIA AND OHIO

1. Introduction

These notes are based largely on information received
from or through Donald Deimage Fawcett, 1 12,422,21, of Las
Angeles, Cal. He and others sent to us data compiled by his
father, Frank Eaton Fawcett, 1 12,422,2, who lived in Ohio and
Indianaj by Edith Fawcett Zelley, F-1 13,228,3, of Salem,
Ohioj by Katherine Fawcett Kneale, F-1 1 3,229,43 1, of Ches-
terland, Ohioj and by Howard S. Fawcett, F-1 1 3,224,65, of
Riverside, Cal. Charles Julian Fawcett, F-1 1 3,293,93, of
Winchester, Va., also loaned to us records made by his grand¬
father, Elkanah Fawcett, F-1 1 3,293 j and a mimeographed
copy of the Fawcett Genealogy compiled in 1925 and 1926 by
Richard B. Fawcett, Sr., F-1 13,228, Louisa Deborah Fawcett
Hogue, 112,421, and Edith Fawcett Zelley, F-1 13,228.3.
The following summary includes much of the information con¬
tained in the above documents, with the addition of some notes
made by Louisa Deborah Fawcett Hogue, 1 12,421, and loaned
to us by Captain Richard Blackburn Black, 112,421,12. This
is by no means a complete record of the Fawcett Family, and
contains few records since 1926j but it is hoped that it may
stimulate and assist someone to prepare a more extensive his¬
tory of this interesting family.

“Hopewell (Va.) Friends History,” published in 1934 by
a Joint Committee of Hopewell Friends and John Walter
Wayland, contains numerous references to the Fawcett Family,
many of which confirm names and dates included in this Faw¬
cett Supplement. This book should serve as a valuable refer-

434

THE BAYLIS FAMILY OF VIRGINIA

ence for the preparation of biographies in a more extensive
Fawcett Genealogy.

This supplement does not include 80 names of descendants
of John Fawcett F-1 12,52 and Ann Baylis (Fawcett), 112,4,
who are listed in the Baylis genealogy, and in the general
index. To each of these names has been attached their num¬
bers in the Fawcett genealogy.

The Fawcett Family have held reunions at Salem, Ohio,
nearly every year since 1907, at which some of these accounts
were presented. At the first reunion, 80 Fawcett descendants
were present. Some of the Virginia Fawcetts attended these
meetings. In 1924 Clark T. Fawcett, F-1 13,293,9, invited
them to attend a reunion at Fawcett’s Gap the following year.
This was held in July, 1925, with about 100 present, including
24 from Pennsylvania and Ohio.

On September 15, 1957, the Fiftieth Anniversary Re¬
union of the Fawcett Family was held at Salem, Ohio with an
attendance of about 80 descendants. This also coincided with
the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the arrival of
Richard Fawcett’s family in Salem, Ohio in 1807.

At this Reunion Dudley Fawcett Ashead, F-1 13,228,3 1 1,
succeeded Luther T. Fawcett, F-1 1 3,224,68, as President ^ and
Raymond Fawcett, F-1 1 3,224,61 3, succeeded Walter I.
Moore, F-1 1 3,228,1 1 2,1 , as Vice-president. Lillian Teresa
Fawcett (Arner), F-1 13,228,1 13, was re-elected Secretary, and
Clara S. Fawcett, F-1 1 3,224,68-W, as Treasurer.

To celebrate this occasion two brochures on the Fawcett
Family were prepared and distributed. One of these contains
a summary of the Fawcett Family prepared in 1925 by Edith
Fawcett (Zelley), F-1 13,228,3. This booklet also includes
two coats of arms of the Fawcett family, one of which is re¬
produced here. The other brochure, compiled by Luther T.
Fawcett, F-1 1 3,224,68, for this Reunion, includes a “Fawcett
Family Tree,” which contains names and dates of five genera¬
tions of descendants of Richard Fawcett. Photographs are

included of the original home of the Fawcetts at Fawcett’s
Gap, Va., built by Thomas Fawcett in 1797j and of the brick
house in Salem, Ohio built by Richard Fawcett in 1810. Also
a photograph of nine grandchildren of Richard Fawcett who
attended the First Fawcett Reunion in 1907j and a group
photograph taken at this Reunion in 1907.

The proofs for this Supplement were kindly read by Sara
E. Zelley (Ashead) (Burcaw), F-1 13,228,31, who made
numerous additions.

II. Origin of the Fawcett Family

There is a tradition that the Fawcett family came from
France, though it is certain that those who settled in Pennsyl¬
vania and Virginia soon after 1700 came from Ireland. The
possible French origin may be supported by the presence in
Nevis Island, West Indies, of a Dr. John Faucette (or Fawcitt)
who married Mary Uppington on August 21, 1718. Their
daughter, Rachel Faucette, first married a wealthy Danish
merchant, John Michael Lavien, from whom she was later
divorced. She then married a Scotch merchant, James
Hamilton, and their son, Alexander Hamilton, was born at
St. Croix on January 1 1, 1755. He became the great Ameri¬
can statesman who was killed in a duel by Aaron Burr. (An
interesting article on the ‘‘Boyhood of Alexander Hamilton”
was published in the magazine “American Heritage” for June
1955).

According to the French tradition, the Fawcetts left France
after the Edict of Nantz was proclaimed in 1685 and put into
effect in 1698 by Louis XIV. This edict prohibited religious
worship by French Protestants. The Fawcetts then settled in
England, Wales and Ireland, and some came to the West
Indies and to Pennsylvania.

According to Albert Cook Myers’ “Immigration of Irish
Quakers into Pennsylvania, 1682-1750, with their Early His-

436

THE BAYLIS FAMILY OF VIRGINIA

tory in Ireland”, four Fawcett brothers left Ireland for
America, but one of them, probably Joseph, stayed in London,
England, and presumably came over later. That some of the
Fawcetts came over with William Penn who settled Philadel¬
phia in 1682, is supported by the Records of the Chester, Pa.,
monthly Meeting on December 6, 1686, when they met at
Walter Fossett’s house in Ridley Township. However, the
four Fawcett brothers above referred to were not born until
after 1710.

III. Arrangement of Names

In the following Fawcett genealogy the names are num¬
bered according to the same system used in this book for the
Baylis Family. To avoid confusion with the Baylis numbers,
the letter “F” has been placed before each number of a Fawcett
descendant. Available information regarding each person is
inserted after each name. As is evident, this list is far from
complete, but it is hoped that it will be interesting and helpful
to those who may compile a more complete Fawcett history.

According to the Records of Chester, Pa. Monthly Meeting
for September 29, 1736, Thomas Fawcett, his wife Lydia, and
three sons, Thomas, John and Richard, were received.

_ THIRD GENERATION

Children of Thomas Fawcett, F-11, and Lydia Boyce
(Fawcett)

F-111 Thomas Fawcett, b 6/ /1 712 d 3/23/1822

In 1738 he was sent to attend a meeting in Lisborne, Ire¬
land.

In a Bible printed in Dublin in 1754 and belonging to Wil¬
liam Lukens Middlebury of Knox Co., Ohio, the birth of John
Faw'cett is recorded as in Lisborn, Ireland.

F-113 Richard Fawcett, d 11/24/1789
m Rachel Ireson. d about 1800
Six children

F-114 Joseph Fawcett, d after 1774

Of the four children of Thomas Fawcett, the oldest three
came to Pennsylvania with their parents about 1736, while
Joseph the youngest, stayed in London, England, till later. In
1754 Joseph Fawcett bought land in Virginia and lived there
at least till 1774. According to the Deeds of Hampshire Co.,
Va. (now W. Va.), page 52, dated 5/9/1774, Joseph Fawcett
and William Blackburn were witnesses for a deed from James
Scott to William Wilson, both of Hampshire Co.

The other three brothers first settled in Pennsylvania, but
they and their children came to Frederick Co., Va., where
Richard Fawcett, F-1 13, bought land from Lord Fairfax, and
from Alexander Hamilton. The Fawcetts at one time owned
a tract three miles long and one mile wide at Fawcetts Gap,

438

THE BAYLIS FAMILY OF VIRGINIA

nine miles southwest of Winchester, Va. The local postoffice
was called “Fawcetts Gap” until about 1925.

John Fawcett, F-112, in his will states that “two acres of
ground has been given by him to the Society of people called
Quakers, near Fawcetts Gap, for the use of a Meeting House
and burying ground forever, on the Cedar Creek Road, the
great road leading to Winchester”. This land was surveyed
on March 29, 1779, by Joseph Longacre. Thomas Fawcett,
F-1 1, who died before 1747, was the first person buried in Mt.
Pleasant Burying Ground at Fawcetts Gap.

Rebecca Ireson (Fawcett), F-112-W, and Rachel Ireson
(Fawcett), F-113~W, were sisters. They had an older sister,
Hannah Ireson (Longacre) who died on August 4, 1793, at
the age of 78.

One of the most interesting stories of the Fawcett family
concerns the death of General Edward Braddock in 1755. He
was in command of 2000 troops consisting of British and
American soldiers who set out to capture Fort Duquesne from
the French. Against the advice of his Aide, George Washing¬
ton, Braddock insisted that the soldiers should not hide behind
trees and rocks, but should fight in the open. In the resulting
battle, Braddock was killed and over half of his men were lost.
At least five histories agree that General Braddock was killed
by Thomas Fawcett, who observed the General striking his
brother, Joseph Fawcett, with his sword. Thomas Fawcett
shot General Braddock, who was carried 50 miles to Great
Meadows, where he died on July 13, 1755.

The available evidence indicates that these, Thomas and
Joseph Fawcett, were those listed above as F-1 11 and F-1 14.
It is recorded that Thomas Fawcett was first living in the
northern part of what is now West Virginia. On a return
from a hunting expedition, he found his cabin in ashes and his
wife and children killed and scalped by the Indians. As he
could not bear to live in this locality, he moved to Pennsylvania.
There he and his brother Joseph enlisted in Braddock’s army,

SUPPLEMENT C““FAWCETT FAMILY

Joseph as a commissioned and Thomas as a non-commissioned
officer. Thomas Fawcett later lived in Fayette Co., Pa., where
he died on March 23, 1822, as recorded on his tombstone .at
Ohiopyle. He was “aged 109 years 9 mos”.

Some of the accounts indicate that Joseph Fawcett was
killed when struck by General Braddock, but the above records
show that he lived at least till 1774.

440

THE BAYLIS FAMILY OF VIRGINIA

Branson and Elizabeth Osmond (Branson) of Stafford Co., Va.
She was descended from Ann Butcher, a widow who came from
England to New Jersey with other Quakers before 1 660. Her
daughter, Frances Butcher (b 1659) married John Antram (or
Antrim) (b 1657) in the Burlington, N. J. Friends Meeting
on March 15, 1682. This and most of the following informa¬
tion was derived from “The Antrim Family of America”, pub¬
lished in 1899 in Burlington, N. J. by Harriett Stockton
Antrim. A copy that belonged to Fouisa Deborah Fawcett
(Hogue), 1 12,421, (6th greatgranddaughter of Ann Butcher),
who made pencil notes in it, was kindly loaned to us by her
grandson. Captain Richard Blackburn Black, U.S.N.R., 112,-
421,12.

In the introduction to the Antrim Family it states that “two
brothers, John and James Antram, were of the faith called
Friends or Quakers. They lived an honorable and upright
lifej their children following the example set by them, and for
several generations were true to the Hith of their Hthers”.
The Antrim book contains the text of the “Grant of Proprie¬
tary Rights” issued May 3, 1680, “between Jonathan Alderidge
of Burlington Co., West New Jersie and John Antrum for the
sum of six pounds and ten shillings for quarter part of all that
undevided eighth part of all that undevided ninetieth part of
that undevided Tract of Fand called West New Jersie in
America.” “The Monthly Meeting at Biddletown in ye
County of Bucks in old England, ye 19 of ye 2 month 1680”
recommended to the “Brothern in New Jersey” — “Friends Ann
Butcher of Fillington Fovall in the County of Oxon, widdow,
and Frances Butcher her daughter and Ann Springier.”

In the will of John Antram proved on May 30, 1719, he
mentions his wife Frances, and sons John, James, Thomas and
Isaac, and daughters Ann Antram (Matlack), Mary Antram
(Norcross) (and her daughter Elizabeth Norcross), and Eliza¬
beth Antram (Elkington). His son Thomas Antram married
Sarah Zelley, 3/9/1715, and they had seven children. Their
fourth child, Martha Antrim, married first on January 16,

1735, John Osmund, and they had four children. On Decem¬
ber 6, 1746, she married John Day Branson and they had two
children.

Elizabeth Osmund was the first child of the first marriage.
She married William Branson on April 1 1, 1753, in Burlington
Co., N. J. Later they moved to Stafford Co., Va. They had
twelve children. A half sister of Elizabeth Osmund (Bran¬
son), Martha Branson, on 1/1 1/1769, married Thomas Faw¬
cett, F- 113,2, “Crooked Run Tommy”, who built the stone
house at Fawcett’s Gap, Va., in 1797.

The fourth child of William Branson and Elizabeth
Osmund (Branson), Sarah Branson, married Thomas Fawcett,
F-112,5, “Leather Jacket Tommy or Red House Tommy”.
Their son, John Fawcett, F-1 12,52, married Ann Baylis, 1 12,4,
daughter of Capt. William Baylis.

In 1808 Richard Fawcett bought about 112 acres in Ohio
from Samuel Davis for $800. The original deed from U. S.
to Samuel Davis, dated 8/9/1806, was signed by Thomas
Jefferson, Pres., and James Madison, Secretary of State. Later
Richard bought several other farms in Ohio. He first built a
log house near Salem, Ohio, with wooden hinges and latch,
with the proverbial “latch string out”. In 1810 he built a
brick house, in which four generations were born, and which
was still occupied by a family of seven in 1925- There is a
tradition that a young woman, Naoma Smith, killed a bear with
an axe and dogs near the spring by the brick house. Once
Richard Fawcett and his cousin John Fawcett shot two deer,
and John was sent home to get a horse to haul the deer. John
got lost, so Richard tied the deer to bent saplings to swing them
out of the reach of the wolves.

Richard Fawcett married Eunice Fearnley, a sister of the
William Fearnley who married Richard’s sister, Hannah Faw-

cett. They were the children of Thomas Fearnley and Martha
Melson (Fearnley), who were married at Crooked Run Meet-
ing, Va., on December 12, 1770. Thomas Fearnley was the
son of William Fearnley and Mercy Borden ( Fearnley). She
was the daughter of Benjamin Borden, whose will was probated
in Frederick Co., Va., in 1743. Richard Fawcett and Eunice
Fearnley were married at Crooked Run meeting Flouse, Fred¬
erick Co., Va.

At a Fawcett reunion at Salem, Ohio, Benjamin Butler,
F-1 13,226,3, gave the following recollections of the Richard
Fawcett household. Benjamin’s mother, Drusilla Fawcett
(Butler), F-1 13,226, died in 1830, when Benjamin was only
three months old, and his sister Asenath Butler was four years
old. The two children then lived with their grandparents,
Richard and Eunice Fawcett, for four years. Then their
father married Elizabeth Tatum and the children lived with
them.

Benjamin Butler described the big old carriage in which his
grandparents came from Virginia to Ohio, as follows: “It
would accommodate from 6 to 1 0 persons comfortably. When
it was driven to the door, and I was allowed to go in it to visit
uncles and aunts, my cup of pleasure was full.”

Speaking of his uncle, Richard Branson Fawcett, F-1 13,-
228, Benjamin Butler wrote, “One thing that impressed me
with admiration was Uncle Richard’s great strength. I re¬
member seeing him haul some long timbers to rebuild a bridge
between their home and town, which had been washed away by
heavy rains. It required six horses to move the timbers and
uncle managed the teams with such ease.”

In 1931 Hannah R. Maule told the following story at a
Fawcett Reunion at Salem, Ohio.

“Sometime in the late forties a runaway slave named Lizzie and her
husband were living in a tenant house on the Fawcett farm. Ffer master and
a friend traced her to Salem and out to the cabin. FFe claimed ^^Liz’’ as he
called her as his property and expected to take her back with him. She ap¬
parently acquiesced, but she said she wanted to show him w'hat a good cook
she was, before she left. She put up the horses and fed them and in prepa-

ration of the dinner had to go to the spring for water. When there she was
out of sight of the house, so she sped swiftly to town. Mrs. Silver’s mother
was standing by a window in her sister’s home (now the Tomlinson grocery)
and saw her running and let her in and hid her. Before long the slave
owners appeared at the hotel across from there (the old Salem House), cursing
and swearing because she had escaped and threatening dire things to the Salem
people.

The men gathered with guns and pitchforks, forming a lane through
which the slave owners deemed it wise to leave, as they were informed that
they could never have the girl. Lizzie lived the rest of her life in Salem.”

The records of the Plainfield Monthly meeting at St.
Clairsville, Ohio, include the following reference. “A certifi¬
cate was produced from Hopewell Mo. Meeting, Va., dated
10 mo. 3, 1814, for Martha Fawcett, her husband and son;
received 12 mo. 24, 1814.” (These were presumably Thomas
Fawcett, F-1 13,2, and Martha Branson (Fawcett), F-1 13,2-W,
and one of their sons. There was also a certificate for the
same date for Mary Fawcett and Eunice Fawcett, who were
received 1 mo. 28, 1815. This Mary Fawcett was probably
F-1 13,2(10), who married Richard Carter. Eunice Fawcett
may have been Eunice Fearnley (Fawcett), F-1 13,22-W, wife
of Richard Fawcett, son of Thomas Fawcett and Martha
(Fawcett).

A certificate was received at the Salem, Ohio, Monthly
Meeting on 2/4/1809 from Hopewell, Va. Monthly Meeting,
dated 9/5/1808, for Thomas ^^Fernley” and Martha. These
were no doubt Thomas Fearnley and Martha Melson (Fearn¬
ley), parents of Eunice Fearnley (Fawcett), F-1 13,22-W, and
William Fearnley, F-113,26”H. On 10/13/1810 Thomas
Fearnley bought 100 acres of land from Richard Fawcett (his
son-in-law) for $800. Richard had bought this land from
John Webb, who had secured it from the U.S. under a patent
granted by Thomas Jefferson, dated 3/10/1807.
